Zoho Mail for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 82% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   I have this installed and working on several websites. I always recommend Zoho for inexpensive quality email. They have a free level, but you need the paid level which is currently $1/mo per email address with a custom domain name. Compares to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 as far as quality of service.

   The plugin works great with the Zoho Mail account. Unfortunately, WordPress forms currently don’t include the Reply-To header, which makes it inconvenient for our client to confirm bookings. We had this feature working previously using another SMTP plugin with Brevo, so we know it’s possible. Please consider adding support for Reply-To headers in WordPress forms as a priority update. This functionality is essential for proper communication flow, and I’ve seen multiple users requesting it over the past year – both here and on the Zoho Community forum.

   If you have to get your own ssl certificate because you’re living on the cheap; this is the way to. Even if paid, zoho mail is cheaper and always reliable. Very happy, 5/5

   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.

   The plugin works great with your Zoho account. No issues with my site, and it was very easy to setup and pretty straight forward. This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by lakuma.

   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.

   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!

   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!
