Weekly Tips: Avoid Duplicate Email Copies with Zoho Mail

Weekly Tips: Avoid Duplicate Email Copies with Zoho Mail

In everyday work environments, it is common to receive the same email multiple times when you're CC'd individually and also included through a group email address in the same message. This can overwhelm your inbox and make it harder to keep track of important tasks or deadlines. So, how do you ensure you're only receiving one copy of an email without manually deleting duplicates?

Avoid Duplicate Copies

The solution is simple: Zoho Mail’s Avoid Duplicate Copy feature. This tool automatically prevents you from receiving duplicate emails when they are sent to both your personal email address and a group you are part of. By using this feature, you can keep your inbox organized and avoid the hassle of sorting through multiple copies of the same message.

Whether you are part of several teams or involved in various projects, this setting helps you reduce email clutter and stay focused on what matters most. 

How to Turn on Avoid Duplicate Copies

  1. Log in to Zoho Mail.
  2. Click on the Settings icon.
  3. Navigate to Mail > Mail View Options.

  4. Check the option labelled Avoid duplicate copies from group emails.
Eliminate email clutter with no extra effort!
