Set up email account via POP3
Zoho Recruit lets you configure a Zoho Mail account or third-party email account via POP3.
Zoho Recruit uses Zoho Mail to fetch emails and display them within Recruit. Whether you wish to configure a Zoho Mail account or a third-party email account via POP3, you'll need a Zoho Mail account.
- If you already have a Zoho Mail account, your existing mailbox will be displayed under the POP3 settings.
If you do not already have a Zoho Mail account, you'll be prompted to configure an account from inside Zoho Recruit. Upon successful configuration, this new mailbox will be added under the POP3 settings.
Once you have a Zoho Mail account, you can add multiple mailboxes (Zoho Mail or other services) under POP3 accounts. Only one mailbox can be active at a given point of time.

- The outgoing server details will also be populated. If not, provide the outgoing server details.
- Delete Message Settings: These settings determine when the emails in the server should be deleted. Select the desired option.
- Note:
- If you are not using any POP clients other than Zoho Mail, your Username can just be username@gmail.com.

How can you restrict the sharing of emails from other users in Recruit?
With this option, you can only view the emails received from the excluded users. emails received from other users are globally shared with all users in your Zoho Recruit account. Why there is no default option for the Complete Sharing option?
This is to protect the privacy of email conversation with clients.
For example, when a recruiter adds the recruiter admin as a contact in Recruit, then an interviewer can view their conversation. This would not be allowed in a real-time scenario.
