 POP Configuration settings for Zoho Mail

You can configure your Mail account in any standard POP client using the POP details provided below. The complete account email address should be provided correctly in both the email address field and the username field. In case you have Two Factor Authentication turned on, generate and use an application-specific password in the email client.

Note:

If you are a Federated Sign In user, you will not have a 'Zoho' password for your account. Use the Forgot Password link in the accounts.zoho.com page, to generate Zoho specific password for your account in Zoho. The Federated Login credentials will not work for POP/ IMAP/ Active Sync access. 

 Include SPAM Messages in POP download

You can choose to include Spam messages for POP retrieval. Zoho Mail provides options to include Spam messages or to retrieve only Spam emails for POP retrieval. If you rely completely on your email client, and when some of the emails which you receive from your known contacts, get classified as Spam due to various reasons, you can include Spam emails for POP retrieval. 

  1. Login to Zoho Mail
  2. Go to Settings 
  3. Navigate to Mail Accounts >> POP Access 
  4. Once the POP Access is enabled, you can choose the option for including Spam messages.
    • Check 'Include Spam Folders', to retrieve Spam messages in POP Clients
    • Uncheck 'Include Spam Folders', to not receive Spam Messages in POP clients

 POP Delete Settings in Zoho Mail

You can choose to delete emails from Server or leave the messages in Server when the email downloaded via POP is marked for deletion. When you choose 'Delete emails from Server' in the POP clients, the client marks the email for deletion in the server and removes it from the POP queue. However, in Zoho Mail, you can choose to retain the email in the server even if the client marks the email for deletion.  

  1. Login to Zoho Mail
  2. Go to Settings 
  3. Navigate to Mail Accounts >> POP Access 
  4. Once POP Access is enabled, you can choose the POP Delete settings.
    • Check 'Auto-delete emails', to delete the original emails in your account once POP client fetches the emails.
    • Uncheck 'Auto-delete emails', to not delete the original emails in your account once POP client fetches the emails.
