When you have multiple mail accounts, you can set the sequence or the order in which you want the POP accounts to be checked for mails. By default, the POP accounts are set in the order in which they are added. The same order appears in the POP accounts page by default. You can change the order of POP accounts to your preference by dragging and dropping the accounts to the required Order or numbering the accounts to reflect the required sequence.
When you have multiple POP accounts
configured, in addition to your Zoho account, you can choose the default account based on your preference.

To choose any account as Default, click on the 'Default' radio button across the account.
You can customize your POP accounts mail fetch settings in the settings page.

If you have changed the password of your POP account in the Server, you need to update the password in Zoho Settings to continue fetching email without any issues
If you have a wrong password, then there will be a fetch failure and the email that arrived after the password update will not be available in your POP Account.
