Authentication Failure when adding POP3 accounts

Authentication Failure when adding POP3 accounts

Hi everyone,

I am a new user currently migrating from Gmail to Zoho Mail. I decided to make the switch following Google's decision to discontinue POP3 fetching. I previously used Gmail as my primary mail hub, and Zoho seems like the perfect alternative for this setup.

However, I am having trouble adding my external email accounts. When I enter the POP server, username, and password—using the exact same credentials I used in Gmail—I receive an "Authentication Failure" error.

I have double-checked my credentials, and I am certain they are correct. To be sure, I successfully logged into my hosting provider's webmail using the same username and password.

Is there a specific setting I might be missing in Zoho to prevent this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Simon
