This thread came up when I was having no luck earlier this month using Zoho for our mail in a Discourse installation.

There was another MUST for us: Before going through the web-based installation steps you must set the `SiteSetting.notification_email` at the bottom of the `app.yml`. Otherwise Zoho won’t accept your mail and you would never get the activation mail or anything else.
