In this guide, you’ll learn how to connect your Zoho Mail account to Snov.io using SMTP credentials and server settings.
Snov.io lets you connect your own business or personal mailbox and send email campaigns through your email provider’s servers to have total control over your sender account’s performance.
Before you begin: Please note that, as per Zoho policies, Zoho Mail accounts should not be used for sending emails in bulk, as it may result in account restrictions.
Instead, you can use Zoho ZeptoMail for sending campaigns.
If you have a ZeptoMail account, you can take advantage of its emailing capabilities and connect it to Snov.io.
The process of connecting involves three primary steps:
1) Getting your Zoho SMTP credentials
2) Adding a new email account in Snov.io
3) Configuring optional settings
1) Get Your ZeptoMail SMTP Info
First, you’ll need your ZeptoMail username and password to connect through SMTP.
Your ZeptoMail SMTP username is just “emailapikey.”
Your SMTP password is used to authorize to your ZeptoMail account. If you’re not sure what it is, you can find it by clicking here.
For more info, check out the Zoho Help Page –>
2) Add a new email account
In the second step, you’ll need to enter your SMTP and IMAP settings on the email account configuration page.
- Go to the Email Accounts page.
This page will display a list of all the email accounts that you have connected to Snov.io.
Start adding a new account by clicking the Add email account button.
Choose Zoho from the email providers list to open the email account settings page.
Entering SMTP settings
Snov.io connects to your provider’s SMTP server to send emails to your recipients.
In the SMTP section, enter your SMTP information and the provider’s server settings for sending emails.

Entering IMAP settings
The IMAP server is responsible for tracking incoming responses and letting Snov.io to log them into the email campaign statistics.
Zoho ZeptoMail is an exclusively email sending service, so the IMAP (receiving emails) settings are not available.
In the IMAP settings, you can connect to another email account that you receive replies to.
For example, you can use default IMAP server settings from Google or Office 365 accounts.
Adding IMAP settings is optional, but if you don’t add them, your email account will be connected conditionally.
As a result, Snov.io will not be able to track responses to emails sent from this email account and reply statistics may be inaccurate. Read more here ⇒
