Email (Inbox, Outbox & Accounts)
Screen purpose: Connect your email account(s) to CallProof so your correspondence with contacts is synced and visible to your team, and browse the emails CallProof has matched to your contacts.
- Inbox — emails you received that CallProof matched to contacts
- Outbox — emails you sent that CallProof matched to contacts
- Accounts — connect / manage the mailboxes CallProof syncs (Google, Office 365, or Other/IMAP)
Browser titles: Inbox · Outbox · Email Accounts
Addresses: /em/ (Inbox) · /em/outbox/ (Outbox) · /em/accounts/ (Accounts)
Navigation: Personal Icon Hover → Link Email Accounts
How to open Email
- Sign in to CallProof.
- Open Email / Email Settings (label may vary by company menu).
- You land on the Inbox.
Option B — Direct address
- Go to your CallProof site and add
/em/for Inbox,/em/outbox/for Outbox, or/em/accounts/for Accounts. - Press Enter.
Option C — Quick Links (on any Email screen)
- Click the Quick Links button at the top right.
- Choose Inbox, Outbox, or Accounts.
Permissions
- You must be signed in.
- You see your own synced emails; managers / market managers can pick another Sales Rep in the filter to view that rep's emails.
- Emails you sync are visible to other users on your CallProof team (stated in the connect policy).
- Email accounts you connect belong to you — you manage/delete your own from the Accounts screen.
- Company menu permissions control whether Email appears in the sidebar.
Why connect email matters
| Action | Purpose | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Connect an account | Let CallProof match your emails to the right contacts automatically. | First-time setup, or adding a second mailbox. |
| Inbox / Outbox | See the full email history with a contact without leaving CallProof. | Prepping for a call or reviewing a deal. |
| Choose folders to sync | Control which mailbox folders CallProof reads. | Skip spam/archive; sync Inbox + Sent. |
| Schedule Historical Sync | Pull in older email (up to 1 year back) so past history appears. | Right after connecting a mailbox. |
| Re-Sync / Re-authenticate | Fix a mailbox that stopped syncing (password/permission changed). | When Sync Status shows a problem. |

| The address, with Last Sync and Last Historical Sync details; Re-Sync Folders / Re-authenticate appears when there is a problem | |

Add an email account
Purpose: Connect a mailbox so CallProof can sync it.
Steps
- On Accounts, click + Add Account.
- Choose a provider: Google, Office, or Other.
- Read the “what to expect when you connect” policy for that provider.
- Click Agree.
- Google / Office: sign in and approve access in the provider window; you return to Accounts.
- Other (IMAP): fill in the connection form and Save (see below).
Google/Office note: CallProof uses the provider's OAuth sign-in — you approve read access; CallProof does not store your provider password.
Add / edit an “Other” (IMAP) account
Fields
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Email Address | The mailbox address (required) |
| Username | Must be the same as the email address |
| Hostname | Your mail server (required) |
| Port | Server port (required) |
| Password / Confirm Password | Must match |
| Protocol | Choose the email protocol (required) |
Steps
- Choose Other → Agree.
- Enter address, username (= address), hostname, port, password + confirm, and protocol.
- Save.
- CallProof begins syncing; check Sync Status on Accounts.
Edit: click the Edit (pencil) on an account to change these details; saving resets the sync so folders re-check.
Choose which folders to sync
Purpose: Tell CallProof which mailbox folders to read.
- On Accounts, click Refresh Folders for the account to load its current folder list.
- In the folders selector, choose the folders to include (for example Inbox and Sent).
- The account saves your folder choices.
- CallProof syncs the selected folders (“we are fetching your email… you will start seeing these emails shortly”).
Note: If no folder is selected, past-mail sync cannot run — pick at least one folder.
Schedule Historical (past) email sync
Purpose: Pull in older emails so past history with contacts appears.
Steps
- On Accounts, pick a duration: 1 Week, 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, or 1 Year.
- Click Schedule Historical Sync.
- The historical sync is scheduled and runs in the background (status shows Running Now while active).
- When finished, Last Historical Sync shows the date.
Note: The duration selector and schedule button are disabled while a historical sync is already running or the account password is failing.
Fix a failing account (Re-Sync / Re-authenticate)
When Sync Status shows a warning (“Password Failing” or “Folders Not Sync”):
- Open Accounts.
- For Google/Office accounts, click Re-authenticate and approve access again.
- For Other/IMAP accounts, click Re-Sync Folders (or Edit and re-enter the password).
- Watch Sync Status return to ✔ after the next check.
Delete an email account
- On Accounts, click the Delete (trash) icon for the account.
- Confirm.
- The account is removed and stops syncing (“Account deleted”).
You can also remove an integration later via Home → Email Settings → Accounts → Delete.
Typical workflow
- Open Accounts and + Add Account.
- Choose Google / Office / Other and Agree to the connect policy.
- Select the folders to sync (Inbox + Sent is typical).
- Schedule Historical Sync for the range you need.
- Use Inbox / Outbox (with the Filter) to review email history per contact.
- If syncing stops, Re-authenticate or Re-Sync Folders.
Tips and important notes
- Emails only appear once they are matched to a contact and the folder is selected for sync.
- For Other/IMAP, the Username must equal the email address, and passwords must match.
- Historical sync and refresh buttons are disabled while a sync is running or the password is failing — fix the account first.
- Synced correspondence is visible to your team — this is by design for shared account history.
- Managers reviewing a rep's email use the Sales Rep filter; it does not change the rep's own view.
- Google/Office connections use OAuth — reconnect via Re-authenticate if access is revoked.
Need help?
- “Account not found”: refresh Accounts; the account may have been deleted
- No emails showing: confirm the account is ✔ synced and the right folders are selected
- “No folders were selected to sync”: pick at least one folder, then retry
- Password Failing: Edit the account and re-enter the password, or Re-authenticate (Google/Office)
- Can't see another rep's email: only managers/market managers can use the Sales Rep filter
