New in Zoho Mail : Drag & Drop Attachments, Improved CRM Integration & More

Integrations and improvements among Zoho Apps continue to pick up steam. Our latest update in Zoho Mail brings in some really neat features many of you will love. Here we go.

Drag & Drop Attachments & More

Attaching files while composing an email just got easier. While attaching files, just drag and drop your files on to the compose window to attach files. You can drag multiple files at once. There are no plugins needed for this feature to work. It uses HTML5. This means, the feature will work in browsers that support HTML5 like Firefox 3.6+ and Chrome 6+. 

If you still prefer attaching files using the dialog, we enabled the option to select multiple files using the CTRL option (or CMD option on Mac). Again, this feature works on Firefox 3.6+ and Chrome 6+.

We previously added an option to attach files directly from Zoho Docs or Google Docs. For Zoho Docs, you only had the option to attach the files you created. We now added an additional option to even attach files that have been shared to you. 

Add Leads & Events to Zoho CRM

In Zoho Mail, we have had the option to add a contact to Zoho CRM with a single click. We now added an option to add the sender of an email as a Lead to the CRM system. To do this, open the email and choose Add to > CRM > Leads. 

You can also add an Event to Zoho CRM right from the email.

Calendar Preview

We typically receive calendar invites as ICS attachments. For such emails, we now added the option to preview the ICS file before adding it to your calendar. If everything looks right, use the 'Add Event' option add the event to Zoho Calendar.

Sorting Emails by Size

Unlike many webmail clients, we offer several options to sort your emails - like sorting by Date, subject, sender etc. Now we added a new option - sort by size. This will sort all your emails based on the size of your email (attachments included). If you want to delete those unwanted emails that take up your Inbox, now you can do this easily.  

These are some of the key highlights in our latest update. As always, we will keep improving the application based on your feedback. So keep your feedback coming.
