"Available exclusively with the paid plans" - Error Message + ZOHOMAIL POP3 AND IMAP

Zoho Mail is free and one of most lovable business email solution for small business and personal use. In the post Free Outlook for Custom domain and Google Apps, this is the most reliable and free service available. But last week ( Dec 2017 ), some of best / paid Class feature removed from free account plan( 5 Email as on 09/10/2019). This changes was shocking for user like us. We are using zoho mail from around 2010 and always try to refer each and everyone if they not able to pay more and wanted to reduce IT budget. We always challenge people to stop paying to Google or any paid Email service provider and shift to zoho mail. Most of time we shifted / Migrated mail service for many companies/individuals free of cost, just to show our skills and expertise in website industry.

After Dec 2017 No Ads, Privacy Guaranteed. 5 GB Each Email Account. Email plus Online Office. Smooth Setup & Management. Secure & Reliable.

Features Removed like Exchange Support, POP / IMAP Support - Means no outlook setup , mobile mail access without zoho mobile app. So Said for us ?? Anti Spam and Anti Virus Extensive Control Panel to manage users , group , Email Policies etc

We called and cross checked with ZOHO SUPPORT Team about these changes today and they confirmed the same. I / We personally request zoho product management Team to rollback these changes and if required, reduce no of mail accounts - not feature which are essential. Still zohomail is fare fare better than paid email services currently in market but we miss freedom ( @ZOHOMAIL - True business mail solution !! )
