Replies sent from Zoho Desk go back to the customer through the same email thread.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Setting Up the Email Channel<\/h2>\n<p>You can connect your existing support email (such as support@yourcompany.com) to Zoho Desk by configuring email forwarding or IMAP\/POP settings. Once connected, every email creates a ticket and every agent reply is threaded back to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Email Threading and Conversation History<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Desk keeps the entire email conversation inside one ticket. When a customer replies to the support email, their message is appended to the existing ticket rather than creating a new one. Agents always see the full history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Multi-Mailbox Support<\/h2>\n<p>Organisations can connect multiple email addresses to different departments. A company might route billing@company.com to the Finance department and technical@company.com to the Engineering team, all within one Zoho Desk account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> An e-commerce company connects support@store.in to Zoho Desk. All customer emails arrive as tickets, are routed to the right agent by product category, and customers receive branded replies from the same email address they contacted.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/thread-email-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Thread (Email)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/department-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Department (Desk)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/email-template-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Email Template (Desk)<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the Email Channel in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The email channel converts incoming support emails into Zoho Desk tickets automatically.
