After being totally premium, thousands of newbies have stopped using Google Apps for Business to make professional email address like ‘name@domain.com’, ‘contact@business.com’ etc. At the same time, Microsoft Outlook did the same thing with people, who were ready to create their professional email ID with personal domain. They just stopped providing their service. At such moment, Zoho Mail is working best for users since if you use Web Mail in your Hosting cPanel, your CPU usage will increase.

However, if you have already setup Zoho Mail with your domain name and you have email ID(s) like ‘name@mydomain.com’ or ‘admin@domain.com’ etc. you can easily set them up in Mail for Windows 10. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you are using Windows 10 or any previous version, you can set up your account here in Mail app for Windows.

The same old steps have to be followed by you to get things done. But, the problem is you cannot just enter your log in credential and Mail for Windows 10 will do the rest. This is not going to happen in this case. You must have to do something more than that to use Zoho mail in Windows 10 Mail app. This Mail app supports Outlook, Google, Yahoo mail etc. but, it doesn’t have any direct setting procedure for any other email account. This is why these following steps are going to work for you.
