How to install zoho mail on linux

Zoho Mail is a popular email service that offers a web-based interface, mobile apps, and even a desktop client. While there isn't a native Linux client for Zoho Mail, you can still access your Zoho Mail account on Linux using various methods. Here are a few ways to install Zoho Mail on Linux:

Method 1: Using the Zoho Mail Web Interface

  1. Open a web browser on your Linux machine (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, or Opera).
  2. Go to the Zoho Mail website (www.zoho.com/mail) and sign in with your Zoho Mail account credentials.
  3. You can now access your Zoho Mail account using the web interface.

Method 2: Using the Zoho Mail Desktop Client (Beta)

  1. Download the Zoho Mail Desktop Client (Beta) from the Zoho website (www.zoho.com/mail/download).
  2. Extract the downloaded archive to a directory of your choice (e.g., ~/zoho-mail).
  3. Run the zoho-mail executable from the extracted directory (e.g., ~/zoho-mail/zoho-mail).
  4. Follow the installation prompts to set up the client.

Method 3: Using a Third-Party Email Client

  1. Install a third-party email client that supports IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) protocols, such as:
    • Mozilla Thunderbird (available in most Linux repositories)
    • Evolution (available in most Linux repositories)
    • Claws Mail (available in most Linux repositories)
  2. Configure the email client to use your Zoho Mail account:
    • Set the IMAP server to imap.zoho.com and the port to 993 (SSL/TLS).
    • Set the SMTP server to smtp.zoho.com and the port to 587 (STARTTLS).
    • Use your Zoho Mail account credentials to log in.

Method 4: Using a Linux Package Manager

  1. Check if your Linux distribution has a Zoho Mail package available:
    • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install zoho-mail
    • Fedora/CentOS/RHEL: sudo dnf install zoho-mail
    • openSUSE: sudo zypper install zoho-mail
  2. Install the package using the package manager.
  3. Configure the package to use your Zoho Mail account credentials.

Please note that the Zoho Mail Desktop Client (Beta) is still in development, and the third-party email clients may require additional configuration to work seamlessly with Zoho Mail.
