I am trying to configure Zoho Mail SMTP in Odoo 18 (Windows 11, local installation) but Odoo fails to send emails even though “Test Connection” is successful.

SMTP settings used:

  • SMTP Server: smtppro.zoho.in

  • Port: 465

  • Encryption: SSL/TLS

  • Username: full Zoho email

  • Password: app password

  • Outgoing email domain: configured

Odoo shows Test Connection: SUCCESS, but when I try to send an actual email (quotation, reset password, etc.) I get:

SMTPServerDisconnected: please run connect() first

What I need help with

  1. What are the correct SMTP settings for Zoho Mail + Odoo 18?

  2. Is there any additional configuration required (SPF, DKIM, ports, app password)?

  3. Why does the Test Connection succeed but real email sending fails?

  4. Does Zoho require a different hostname for SMTP from local servers?

If anyone is using Zoho Mail successfully with Odoo 18, please share the correct working configuration.

Thanks!
