Reviews

bad plugin

dantrhdxxxx October 23, 2024

Invalid Client Client ID passed does not exist

Reply to isn’t an option

Zeal Media March 7, 2024

Great plugin, but missing an important feature. We like to set it up to send from a noreply@ email address, but when the user or notification email are sent out, the “reply to” address is not used, rather the noreply@ email address. This is ineffective. If this feature is added, 5 stars… until then 3 stars.

Highly recommended for your Zoho email account!

The plugin works great with your Zoho account. No issues with my site, and it was very easy to setup and pretty straight forward.

Excellent!

Thanks a lot ! The plugin works OK! If it is for a wordpress “Contact form 7”:1- Install the “zoho mail” plugin, so that the Authorization Redirect URI is generated2- You must access api-console de zoho website.3- Choose the server option after entering and paste the “Authorization Redirect URI” that was generated in wordpress. With these data, the “Client Id” and the “Client Secret” that the plugin requests in the admin of the wordpress site are generated.

reply-to not supported

VaDims April 3, 2023

I spent almost one full day to find that reply-to custom header is not supported. So if you wish to set a different email to deliver the reply to, use the FluentSMTP instead of this one. Just saved you a couple of hours! Cheers!

Sorted my SMTP problems

Hydester January 3, 2022

I am a (satisfied) Zoho Mail customer and this plug-in sorted my SMTP problems from my Wordpress site in an easy and graceful manner. I had to apply the configuration twice, for some reason, but worked perfectly after that. Great work Zoho!
