POP3 email

Bring inbound mail into Conrep

Connect POP3 mailboxes for resumes, client requirements, group inboxes, and bounce handling. Pair incoming servers with SMTP for outbound mail, set check frequency and SSL, and let Conrep parse messages into candidates and ATS records.

Resume & requirement inboxes Scheduled mail checks POP3 + SMTP in one hub

How inbound POP3 works

1
Configure the mailbox

Define POP3 host, port, login, SSL, category (resumes, requirements, support, sales), and which users or rules apply.

2
Conrep polls the server

Background jobs connect on your schedule, retrieve messages and attachments, and track processing status so runs do not overlap.

3
Parse and file

Resume mail creates or updates candidate profiles from attachments; requirement mail ties to clients and contacts; bounces update delivery status.

POP3/SMTP settings in Company Settings

Administrators manage all company mail connections from a single POP3/SMTP settings screen — add or edit accounts, assign users, attach processing rules, and run login requests when providers need verification.

POP3 inbound SMTP / mass mail Active flag Per-user accounts
Mailbox type Category Host & credentials Users & rules
Company-level accounts

List every mailbox by name, type, category, active state, linked users, and rules — with bulk delete and edit from one grid.

User email accounts

Recruiters can maintain personal POP3, SMTP, or e-fax accounts with incoming and outgoing servers, SSL toggles, test connection, and webmail availability.

Outgoing limits & order

Set daily outgoing email limits and SMTP priority order so mass mail and individual sends respect your provider caps.

Dedicated POP3 server records

Extended POP3 definitions include mail-check frequency in minutes, account type, and SSL on the incoming server for providers that require encrypted POP3 (for example port 995).

Mailbox categories that match staffing workflows

Choose a category when you create a POP3 account so Conrep knows how to route and process each message.

Resume categories can carry a source label; requirement categories link to client, client contact, and internal contact fields.

What happens after mail arrives

Conrep does more than download messages — it parses MIME, stores headers and attachments, and drives ATS automation.

Requirement mail

Requirement-category POP3 accounts associate inbound job mail with the right client hierarchy so reqs land with the correct client contact and internal owner.

  • Client and contact selectors on setup
  • Internal contact for routing
  • Built for vendor management workflows

Bounce & delivery mail

Dedicated bounce mailboxes read return-path and bounce messages so campaigns and mass mail reflect accurate delivery and suppression status.

  • Scheduled bounce inbox processing
  • SSL POP3 connection support
  • Processed vs unprocessed bounce views

Operations & reliability

Mail integration is built for production volume — not one-off manual imports.

Mail check frequency

Configure how often Conrep connects to each POP3 account — from user-level minutes-based settings to company server schedules.

SSL on incoming & outgoing

Toggle encrypted connections for POP3 and SMTP; ports adjust to provider defaults when SSL is enabled.

Background job orchestration

Server-side workers poll active mailboxes, mark long-running jobs complete, and avoid duplicate processing while a mailbox is in progress.

MIME & attachment handling

Full message parse splits headers, body, and attachments into Conrep email storage with recipient rows for from, to, cc, and bcc.

Webmail integration

User accounts can be exposed in Conrep webmail with per-account folders for messages and attachment storage.

Test account settings

Validate POP3 and SMTP logins from the email account screen before recruiters depend on the mailbox in production.

Common questions

Is POP3 only for reading mail?

Conrep’s POP3/SMTP hub covers inbound POP3 mailboxes and outbound SMTP (including mass-mail categories). Most staffing teams configure both so the same account name can send and receive through Conrep.

How do resume mailboxes create candidates?

When a mailbox is categorized for resumes, Conrep stores attachments and runs parsing jobs that build candidate profiles from resume files. Parsed records are tagged with a POP3 source so you can report on inbox-driven talent.

Can one mailbox serve multiple recruiters?

Company settings let you assign users and rules to each POP3 account. Group categories such as support, sales, or employee tickets are intended for shared inboxes rather than personal recruiter mail.

Do you support secure POP3?

Yes. Incoming accounts support SSL and typical secure ports (such as 995 with SSL). Outgoing SMTP has a matching SSL option for providers that require TLS.

How is this different from the Outlook add-in?

Outlook integration files mail from the desktop client on demand. POP3 is server-side: Conrep polls mailboxes on a schedule — ideal for central resume@ or jobs@ addresses, bounce boxes, and unattended intake.
