About Zoho Mail
Zoho Mail bets programmability and MCP integration will outflank the legacy inbox.
The last quarter has shipped two genuinely programmable surfaces on top of the email product: Client Scripting for in-inbox workflow logic, and a CLI for admin and user automation. Earlier in March, MCP integration landed so AI agents can act on inboxes by context rather than condition-and-rule heuristics. The rest of the changelog is an Admin Reports content series and competitive positioning around AWS WorkMail's shutdown.
