  • Keep your password safe: Use strong, unique passwords.
  • Use App‑Specific Passwords if 2-Step Verification is on.
  • Check spam filters: Sometimes Zoho’s POP fetch lands in your Spam folder.
  • Sync frequency: POP fetches mail at intervals – it’s not real-time.
  • Storage limits: Gmail has space limits. Clean old emails in Gmail to keep things smooth.
