After Gsuite, most people prefer Zoho Mail to create custom custom-branded domain for their business. In this guideline I am going to show you how easily you can configure Zoho Mail SMTP in Orkap.

Requirements for Zoho SMTP Setup​

  • A Zoho Mail account ([email protected] or custom domain)
  • 2FA is enabled on your Zoho account (required for app passwords)
  • Access to Zoho Mail’s Security & Privacy settings in the web console

Enable Two-Factor Authentication​

  1. Sign in at https://mail.zoho.com
  2. Navigate to Profile ➜ My Account ➜ Security
  3. Under 2FA, click Set Up and follow the prompts
  4. Confirm with your mobile authenticator or SMS code

Generate an App-Specific Password​

  1. In Security ➜ App Passwords, click Generate New Password
  2. Enter a name (e.g., Orkap SMTP) and click Generate
