Confluence 4.1 : Managing Mail Accounts

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.

You need to be a space administrator to manage mail accounts for a space.

(warning) The information on this page does not apply to Confluence OnDemand.

To manage mail accounts:

  1. Go to Browse > Mail.
  2. Click on Mail Accountsunder the heading 'Mail' in the left panel. For each of the mail accounts listed, you can:
    • Edit : change the configuration settings for the mail account.
    • Remove: remove the account permanently.
    • Disable: temporarily disable the account.
