Comment summary: Zoho Mail is a generally well-regarded email alternative offering robust features, a clean interface, and integration with other Zoho services. Users appreciate its ad-free experience, reliability improvements, and free custom domain capability for small enterprises. However, some concerns exist over usability issues, forced integration with unnecessary apps, limitations in the free tier, and alleged privacy concerns. While offering a great balance of features, some users report problems with app support and program bugs.

It is now almost 2 years since landroni's comments and I can say, as a zoho mail user, the reliability issues have largely gone away. Zoho is now a very robust platform. Is it perfect? Probably not - but is anything truly perfect in this imperfect world? Actually, if Zoho still has faults, I'm not aware of any - though I haven't been looking for any. I use it as my primary personal email and am very satisfied.

Originally I turned to it simply because I wanted an email address that was different than everyone else (gmail, yahoo, etc.). Zoho.com is short, easy to type and easy to remember. So I tried it and, after the period of poor reliability a couple of years ago, am now very satisfied.

Zoho was great for free domain emails but a few years ago they disabled POP and IMAP on their free plan. Which means we can't use our domain email addresses on the mail client of our choice anymore (such as Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird, ...). Now we are limited to their webmail only.

This actually triggered quite some rage: https://help.zoho.com/portal/community/topic/zoho-free-tier-pop-imap-activesync-no-longer-free

For a free alternative with POP and IMAP enabled (and also lighter UI), check out postale.io.

They seem to have added it back, meanwhile: https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html

Hi Michael, thanks for reading. From what I can see their Free offer still says it includes a web access only.

Well... DoobleD! Even your recommendation postale.io went the same route -- they've abrogated the free plan for custom domains, now they're charging $12 for all the same features that they were offering for free, earlier. Here's a screenshot excerpting their FAQ...https://i.imgur.com/4Blt5YY.png

I try to sign up for it, but I don't use mobile phones, and so can't. I get that they need to curb spam, but there has to be a better solution than barring anyone without a phone.

I bought a premium plan, only to learn that their mobile app doesn't support paid (multiple) features.

Their desktop email client breaks every time I suspend my PC, and the Android app breaks the message view when switching apps.

Even though we pay, to get access to S/MIME we would need to pay even MORE.

Impressively straight forward setup. I think this is the only reputable email host that allows custom domains on the free plan, and from what I understand it includes 5 GB of space. You don't even need a credit card. The interface is good. A few features aren't available on the free plan like forwards but I really can't complain, it's a great offer.

After ploughing through the troves of alternatives listed, filtering on basis of price and operating system, I finally plumped for Zoho for the one sole benefit that it offers which none of the alternatives do -- Zoho is the only service that I could find, who allow using one's own domain FOR FREE FOR EVER FOR more than one email account. Last checked, their free tier offered 5 accounts on own (custom) domain.

Most suitable for new enterprises with minimal finances.
