Zoho Mail - Desktop
Zoho Mail - Desktop is Zoho Corporation’s desktop email client for accessing Zoho Mail accounts on macOS with a dedicated app window and notifications.
What is Zoho Mail - Desktop?
Zoho Mail - Desktop is a desktop client published by Zoho Corporation for using Zoho Mail outside a web browser on macOS. Zoho documents this app as the Zoho Mail Desktop Lite client, available for Mac, Windows, and Linux, and designed to provide quicker access to the mailbox with desktop-style behavior. Typical use cases include checking business or personal Zoho Mail accounts, receiving desktop and badge notifications, and keeping mail available in a separate app rather than a browser tab. Zoho also notes that the client stays in sync with the web version, making it easy to move between desktop and browser use. On Mac, users may encounter it as a downloaded installer from Zoho and can set it as the default desktop mail application. It appears to be a legitimate first-party productivity and communication app rather than a background-only component.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate first-party app from Zoho Corporation for accessing Zoho Mail. It may store account sessions, local app data, cached mailbox content, and notification-related data on the Mac, so review it like any email client if the device is shared or managed.
Recommendation: Keep it if you actively use Zoho Mail on this Mac or want a dedicated desktop email client. If you no longer use Zoho Mail, removing the app is generally reasonable after confirming you do not need its local sign-in state or cached data.
