Confluence allows you to import mail from mbox files located either on your local system or on the Confluence server and archive it within the space.

You need to be a space administrator to import mail for a space.

To import mail from mbox files:

  1. Go to Browse > Mail.
  2. Click on Mail Import under the heading 'Mail' in the left panel.
    • To import from a Local system, click Browse to select the mbox file. Then click Import.
    • To import from the Server, enter the location of the mbox file on the server in the Server text field and click Import.

The ability to import mail applies only to global spaces, so the 'Import' section in the above screenshot does not appear in the 'Space Admin' tab for personal spaces. Please see Working with Spaces for information about the differences between global spaces and personal spaces.
