Trouble Connecting Zoho Mail via IMAP in n8n – Need Help

Hi everyone đź‘‹,

I'm trying to connect my Zoho Mail account to n8n using the IMAP Email Trigger node, but I'm facing issues getting it to work fully.

✅ Here's what I’ve done so far:

  • âś… IMAP access is enabled in my Zoho Mail settings

  • âś… I’m using the correct server details:

    • Host: imappro.zoho.com

    • Port: 993

    • SSL: Enabled

  • âś… I’ve also generated and used a Zoho App Password (since I have 2FA enabled)

  • âś… The IMAP Email Trigger node in n8n is configured with:

    • Mailbox: INBOX

    • Search Criteria: ALL

    • Only New Emails: Enabled

⚠️ The Issue:

  • The IMAP node connects, but sometimes:

    • The connection unexpectedly closes, or

    • It triggers without fetching full message content (just metadata or snippet)

I’ve verified the same credentials work in Thunderbird and other clients. I’ve also tested with Gmail in n8n, which works perfectly.
