With the release of Zoho Mail Desktop v1.6, we regret to inform you that it will no longer be supported on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Why did Zoho discontinue support for windows 7/8?
Windows 7 and Windows 8 are both great operating systems, but they have become outdated over time. Microsoft itself has ended its support for these older versions, meaning they no longer receive security updates. Consequently, running email software on these platforms can pose significant risks in terms of security and compatibility.
Why did Zoho discontinue support for windows 7/8?
To provide you with a seamless and secure email experience, we encourage users still on Windows 7 and Windows 8 to consider the following recommended actions:
1. Upgrade to the Latest Version of Windows
The most reliable solution is to upgrade your operating system to a more recent version, such as Windows 10 or any subsequent releases. This move ensures that your computer remains secure and compatible with the latest software and updates, including Zoho Mail Desktop v1.6.
2. Use Zoho Mail Webmail
If upgrading your operating system isn’t feasible at this time, we recommend using Zoho Mail Webmail. The web-based email platform is accessible from any modern web browser, making it a convenient option for users of older Windows versions. You won’t need to worry about system compatibility, and you’ll still have access to the powerful features and tools that Zoho Mail offers.
While we understand that upgrading an operating system may require some effort, it is an investment in the security and efficiency of your email communication.
If you have any questions or require assistance in making this change, our customer support team is here to help.
