Zoho Mail - Access using Exchange ActiveSync

Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) is a proprietary protocol, designed to sync emails, calendars, contacts, tasks, and notes from the email server with mobile devices.  Zoho Sync for mobile devices uses the Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® protocol to perform wireless synchronization of Zoho Applications with the built-in mobile device applications (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes). Zoho Sync for mobile devices enables two-way synchronization of Zoho Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes.

Zoho Mail can be accessed via Exchange Sync on any standard Exchange Sync client using the configuration details provided in this guide. You might require an Application-specific Password to set up the account for other devices if you have enabled Two-Factor Authentication.

You can also choose to download the Zoho mobile applications on iOS and Android devices to use the advanced features in Zoho Mail on your mobile device with just a click, without any complex configurations. 

Note:

Exchange ActiveSync is available for Outlook for versions 2013 and above.

Zoho Exchange Activesync Server settings

You can configure your Zoho Mail account on any standard Exchange Activesync client with the configuration details given below.

Server Settings (Organization users with a domain-based email address, you@yourdomain.com):

Incoming Server Name: msync.zoho.com
Username: you@yourdomain.com 
Password: Enter your Zoho account password.  (You might require an Application-specific Password if Two-factor Authentication is enabled).

Note:

Exchange ActiveSync is supported exclusively for business-paid plans. The support's not provided for personal accounts.
