Zoho prefers phone verification, but on desktop browsers (especially in private/incognito mode), the field may remain optional during sign-up for personal accounts.

Try this:

1. Go to zoho.com/mail.
2. Click “Sign Up Now” → “Personal”.
3. Fill in name, desired email (e.g., you@zohomail.com), and password.
4. If the phone field appears, leave it blank and proceed.
5. Complete the CAPTCHA and verify via alternate email (if required).

📌 Zoho offers 5 GB free storage and a clean interface—great for productivity.
