Connect your Zoho Mail email to Claude & ChatGPT

Zoho Mail speaks IMAP, with separate regional data centres (EU, India, Australia…) for accounts signed up outside the US. It has no self-serve OAuth for third parties, so assistants can't reach it. anymailmcp.com can, once you enable IMAP.

Zoho ships with IMAP off. Turn it on under Settings → Mail Accounts → IMAP Access before connecting.

Zoho Mail works best with a revocable app password.

Calendar: yes

Zoho Calendar supports CalDAV, so we can attach it on connect. Your assistant can then list events and add new ones.
