Looking To Switch From Gmail To Zoho Mail? Follow These Steps To Make It Happen

Zoho Mail and Arattai are some of the big talking points in the Swadeshi techsphere over the last few weeks, all thanks to the Indian government prompting these apps. Arattai has quickly grown to become

a WhatsApp challenger which still needs some security upgrades to be a reliable option.

And at the same time, you have the Zoho Mail which is now getting the nod from the higher authorities in the country. 

So, when some like the Union Home Minister Amit Shah signs up for the mailing client and shares his new official correspondence publicly, the trigger effect is evident. Gmail and Outlook are the obvious targets here, and in case, you are also looking to make the switch to Zoho Mail, we’ve got you covered. 

Gmail To Zoho Mail: Steps To Make The Switch 

• You have to create an account on Zoho Mail from its official website, and choose from the free and paid version.
• Use the IMAP feature in Gmail settings to forward your emails to the new Zoho Mail account. You will also get contacts and other folders sent across in a secure manner.
• Use the Zoho Mail account to import the mails with the help of Migration Wizard and get all your Gmail content transferred.
• Now use the Gmail forwarding feature to get all the new emails in the Zoho Mail account
