Zoho Mail Desktop Lite Client 

The Zoho Mail Desktop Lite client is a free installable application that allows you to access Zoho Mail from your desktop/ laptop. With all the comfort and familiarity of our web interface, it also allows easier and faster access to your Zoho Mail inbox. The desktop client is synced with our web version which enables easy transition between both if needed.

  • The desktop notifications and badge notifications, in addition to the application being in your dock, provides the much-needed visibility for your personal and business emails.
