Enabling IMAP in Zoho mail allows you to use IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) to sync your Zoho Mail on aNinja app.

Overview of IMAP Protocol

IMAP is a protocol that allows you to download email messages from your Zoho Mail server. It also allows you to access them with desktop email clients like Outlook/ Mac Mail and/or mobile email clients. So, you can configure Zoho Mail on any standard IMAP email client using the IMAP and SMTP Server Settings.

IMAP allows a two-way synchronization between the email clients and your Zoho Mail account. It means that you can access the same account from multiple email clients.
