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 conne

Hello ZAMEEL ISMAIL
I Hope You are doing well,
Here is your final working setup summary of it for solved the "run connect() first error":
SMTP Server *smtp.zoho.in*
Port *465*
Encryption *SSL/TLS*
Username Full Zoho email
Password Zoho app password (Zoho → My Account → Security → App Passwords → Generate)
From Filter Same as user
User Email Must match Zoho email
DNS SPF + DKIM + DMARC   Hope this information helps you.
Thanks & Regards,
