When you configure the Mail Add-on feature in Zoho CRM, by default, the Zoho mail account is configured. This means that in your CRM account, the Email tab will display Zoho Mailbox. However, when you send emails to your leads or contacts, the From email address will be based on the primary email address in your Zoho CRM account. If you goto Setup > Add-ons > Zoho Mail Add-on and save the default settings (Zoho Mailbox that is selected) then Zoho email address will overwrite the primary email address. You will no longer get your primary email address when you send emails to leads, contacts, etc.
