Enabling IMAP in Zoho mail
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.
