Manage Groups

Groups

Zoho Mail Groups helps teams and groups of people coordinate and communicate better while also minimizing the email clutter caused by internal emails. Users can be a part of both email enabled Organization Groups created by Admins and Personal Groups created by other users. Email enabled groups are Organization Groups that have a common email address. While Organization Groups can only be created by Admins and Super Admins, Personal Groups can be created by all users. 

Groups can either be Streams enabled groups or Streams disabled groups. Groups for which stream is disabled is listed separately under Disabled Groups listing. You can post messages, notes, tasks, events and share emails in Streams enabled groups to collaborate with your team. Streams groups can be disabled by the Admins. Users will not be able to post new posts to these groups but they will still be able to view, tag and favorite existing posts.
