I'm thinking of getting the forever free plan since I need less than 5 emails and not much space for now. I see it says IMAP/POP/Active sync not included in the free plan. What does this mean? I can't use apps like apple native mail, Yahoo, or Outlook for getting Zoho emails, and that I have to use a web based Zoho site or Zoho mail app?

Also Zoho I'd recommend you include Imap/pop/ active sync in your free plan. You will get tons of gsuite customers, and many of us may upgrade to a paid plan after we tried the service. MyAccountAccess Rewards
