Tips and considerations
- When exporting emails, you may encounter issues with formatting, attachments, or special characters. Be prepared to clean up the exported data if necessary.
- Zoho Mail has a limit on the number of emails that can be exported at once. If you need to export a large number of emails, you may need to use a third-party tool or split the export process into smaller chunks.
- Be cautious when exporting sensitive or confidential information, as it may be stored in plain text.
