• If you have any custom filters or labels in Gmail, you may need to recreate them in Zoho Mail.
• Zoho Mail has a limit of 5 GB of storage space per account. If you have more than 5 GB of data, you may need to use a third-party migration tool or upgrade to a paid plan.
• After migrating, you can set up your Zoho Mail account to forward emails from your old Gmail account to your new Zoho Mail account.
