![]() | Mail Archiving Features are Now Optional Confluence Mail Archiving is an optional feature from Confluence 4.1 onwards. This means that the Mail elements in the Confluence interface as mentioned on this page will not appear in the user interface by default. Mail archiving features are now contained in a bundled plugin. To activate mail archiving features in Confluence, activate the plugin from Confluence Admin > Configuration > Plugins > Show System Plugins > Confluence Mail Archiving Plugin. The user interface and functionality of the feature have not changed. |
Confluence fetches mail from the server once every 30 minutes. You need to be a space administrator to manually retrieve new mail from mail accounts. |
|
To manually retrieve mail:
- Go to Browse > Mail.
- Go to the Mail tab. A list of messages for the space is displayed in reverse chronological order.
- Click on the Fetch new mail link located above the list of messages. Any new messages will be displayed in order of most recent first.
![]() | Note Once mail is fetched, it will be removed from the server. |
