Method 2: Using IMAP

   • Log in to your Zoho Mail account.
   • Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner and select "Settings".
   • Scroll down to the "Advanced" section and click on "IMAP".

   • Microsoft Outlook
   • Apple Mail
   • Backup software like Duplicati or ClamAV

Method 3: Using Zoho's API

1. Register for a Zoho Developer account and create a new application.
2. Enable the Zoho Mail API and note down the API key and secret key.

Important Notes:

• Zoho Mail's built-in backup feature only backs up your emails and not your contacts, calendar, or other data.
• IMAP backups may not include all data, such as contacts, calendar events, or custom folders.
• Using Zoho's API requires programming knowledge and may have limitations on the amount of data that can be retrieved.
• It's essential to test your backup process regularly to ensure that your data is being backed up correctly and that you can restore it in case of a disaster.

Remember to always keep multiple backups of your data to ensure that you can recover your emails and data in case of a disaster or data loss.
