Setting up Zoho Mail as SMTP in QRACCESS
Connection details, how to get the credentials and exactly what to enter in the dashboard. Not sure which provider to pick? Start with the general SMTP guide.
Connection details
| Server (host) | smtp.zoho.com (smtp.zoho.eu if your account is in the European region) |
| Ports | 465 (SSL) · 587 (STARTTLS) |
| Username | your full Zoho address |
| Password | the account password (or an app password if 2FA is on) |
How to get the credentials
- With two-factor authentication on, generate an “App password” in the account security settings.
- The sender in QRACCESS must be your own Zoho address (or an alias configured there).
- Check your region: European accounts live on zoho.eu and so does their SMTP.
What to enter in QRACCESS
In the dashboard: Settings → SMTP. Fill in Host and Port from the table above, pick the encryption to match the port (TLS for 587, SSL for 465), and enter Username and Password exactly as the table says — with some providers the “username” is a fixed word or an API key, not your email. Use a sender address on your verified domain and a recognisable sender name. Save, then use the test button with one of your own contacts before any bulk send.
Note: Fine for moderate business volumes; daily limits depend on your plan.
Deliverability: SPF and DKIM
Whatever the provider, verify your domain and publish the SPF and DKIM records it gives you: that is the difference between the inbox and the spam folder. Always run a single test before a bulk send.
