Choose POP or IMAP
Updated over a week ago

Read emails with Carerix from the mailbox using the following protocols:

  • POP - Carerix and the mail server are not synced. It means whatever changes you make in your mail client will not be transferred to the webmail inbox.

  • IMAP - Carerix syncs with the mail server. Any changes you make in your mail client will instantly appear on your webmail inbox.

Remarks:

  • POP and IMAP are the most common protocols for reading emails. Every well-known email program (Outlook, Apple mail, Thunderbird...) 

POP or IMAP

POP

Use POP when you read your emails with just one email program. Choose for example Carerix as your only email program. The benefits are:

  • Read email when a computer and internet is available.

  • Every email is automatically linked to a candidate and a job order file so they are easy to be found. 

  • The mailbox on the server doesn't fill up.

IMAP

Use IMAP when you read your e-mail with more then one email program. This can be a good choice when:

  • You want to use Carerix and Outlook.

  • You want to use Carerix and the standard email program from your smartphone or tablet.

With IMAP, you use two or more email programs at the same time and you see the same emails in every program. This is because the emails are in the mailbox on the server and the email program 'just looks' to whatever is on the server.
