- What happens when you try to set up the account in Thunderbird? Please quote all error messages you see in full. Screen shots would suffice.

- What is your operating system?

- What anti-virus, security, or network "helper" programs do you use, if any?

- What version of Thunderbird?

Here are their recommended settings, according to their help page:

https://www.zoho.com/mail/help/thunderbird-imap-access.html

- I note that they distinguish between "personal users" and "organization users with a domain-based account." Which are you?

Your settings look correct, but you don't mention the Connection Security or Authentication Method. But then, neither do they, except in their image. I believe that the IMAP server needs

IMAP Connection Security: SSL/TLS IMAP Authentication Method: Normal Password

and SMTP:

SMTP Connection Security: This is vague. Port 465 is the standard port for SSL/TLS, but they are not explicit. SMTP Authentication Method: Normal Password

Are those your settings?
