The Zoho Mail Add-on helps you to manage all the candidate/client engagements within your Zoho Recruit account. It helps you to keep track of all the email communication between the customers and the Recruit users. Also, as an administrator, you have the following set of features to manage the Zoho Mail Add-on users.

• Take a backup of the deactivated user's mail account
• Lock Mail Add-on Configurations
• Unlock Mail Add-on Configurations

These features are beneficial in a situation when a user, utilizing Zoho Mail Add-on, is deactivated in Zoho Recruit. When a user is deactivated, all the email conversations the user had with the clients/candidates, are lost. To avoid such a problem, you have the option to take a backup of the deactivated user's email account. By doing so, the emails associated with the records in Recruit will be restored and available for the other users to take over.

Note

• You can take a backup of the email accounts with Record-Level Sharing and Complete Sharing Account Types only. Also, the administrator can lock the mail add-on configuration of the users, so that they do not change their email account settings to Private Account before their accounts are deactivated.
• The email address domain, of the account, that you want to take a backup, should match with your domain.
  

Availability

Profile Permission Required: Users with the Administrator profile can access this feature.
