Zoho Mail, the email service from Zoho Corporation (makers of the Arattai App), is rapidly gaining popularity in India as users shift toward homegrown alternatives to American apps like Gmail. If you’re considering creating a Zoho Mail account, here are five standout features that set it apart:

1. Large Attachments
Zoho Mail allows users to send attachments up to 1 GB directly via email. For files larger than 1 GB, Zoho automatically generates a shareable link. In comparison, Gmail only allows attachments up to 25 MB, and files exceeding that are uploaded to Google Drive with a link.

2. S/MIME Security
Beyond standard TLS encryption, Zoho Mail supports S/MIME, providing an extra layer of security for email communication. This feature is particularly valuable for sensitive or business emails.

3. Smart Filters
Zoho Mail’s Smart Filters automatically organize incoming emails into folders like notifications, newsletters, and more, helping users focus on important emails without manually sorting the inbox.

4. Email Retention and eDiscovery
For organizations, Zoho Mail offers email retention to back up all messages and e-discovery to retrieve specific emails for legal or compliance purposes. These tools are essential for companies with strict data management and security requirements.

5. Integrated Productivity Tools
Zoho Mail integrates notes, calendar, contacts, and bookmarks directly within the platform, reducing the need to switch between different apps and streamlining daily workflow and productivity.

With these features, Zoho Mail offers enhanced security, larger attachments, smarter organization, and integrated productivity tools, making it a compelling alternative to Gmail.
