Set up email account via POP3

Zoho Recruit lets you configure a Zoho Mail account or a third-party email account via POP3. Zoho Recruit uses Zoho Mail to get emails and display them within Recruit. Whether you want to configure a Zoho Mail account or a third party email account via POP3, you will 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 will 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 (whether Zoho Mail or other services) under POP3 accounts. Note that only one mailbox can be active at a given point of time.
