Zoho Mail Switching tips: Shifting from Gmail to Zoho Mail is easy, but many people make common mistakes in it. In this article, know those 7 important mistakes which should not be made even by mistake, so that your mails, folders and contacts remain safe.
Gmail to Zoho Mail Migration: After Arattai app, now Zoho Mail is becoming popular due to its privacy and user-friendly features. Most of the people are adopting this indigenous mail. If you are also going to shift from Gmail to Zoho Mail, then it is important to know that there are some common mistakes made during migration, which can put your data at risk. Let us know 7 such mistakes which you should not make during shifting…
Not enabling IMAP
The first mistake is not enabling IMAP. To transfer Gmail data to Zoho Mail, IMAP must be turned on. It is necessary to enable ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP in IMAP’ by going to Gmail’s settings. If IMAP is turned off, Zoho Mail will not be able to access your mails, resulting in the transfer not being able to complete.
Not using Migration Wizard properly
The second mistake is not using Migration Wizard properly. Zoho Mail’s Migration Wizard is an easy way to securely import your emails, folders, and contacts. Many people ignore this and try to copy the data directly, due to which the mails can get lost or go to the wrong folder. Therefore, it is very important to follow the wizard step-by-step.
Not backing up old mails
While transferring data from large accounts, mails may be lost due to technical glitches or network issues. So backing up Gmail is always a safe option. With a feature like Google Takeout, you can easily take backup of your entire data.
Not checking settings of new Zoho Mail account
Zoho Mail has features like spam filter, folders, labels, calendar sync, and two-factor authentication. Many users rely on the default settings, due to which some important features do not work. Therefore, after account setup, it is important to check all the settings.
Not turning on forwarding in Gmail
Even after transfer to Zoho Mail, new emails keep arriving in Gmail. If you don’t turn on forwarding, your new mails may be missed. Go to Gmail’s settings and activate forwarding and add the address of Zoho Mail.
Not updating contacts and important accounts
After migration it is important to update the new Zoho mail address in all your contacts, banking, subscriptions and social media platforms. If you do not do this, you will continue to receive new emails on your old Gmail account, due to which you may miss some important messages.
Ignoring security and privacy settings
Zoho Mail has features like strong encryption, 2FA and ad free interface. Leaving security settings at default can put your data at risk. Check IMAP/SMTP settings, turn on 2FA, and set up spam filters.
