When you add a mail account, you are configuring Confluence to download mail from that account and archive the mail within the space. Since Confluence removes emails from an email account as it is added to the Mail Archive, Confluence must be set up to poll a clone email account rather than the actual account. For example, to archive the actual account sales@company.com to your Confluence Sales space, you must first create a clone account such as conf-sales@company.com that contains the same email content.

Stage 1 - Creating A Clone Email Account

  1. メールサーバーにクローンのメールアドレスを持つ新しいメールアカウントを追加します。
  2. Copy all existing emails from the actual account to the clone account.
  3. Set up the actual account to bcc sent emails to the clone account.
  4. Set up the actual account to forward received emails to the clone account.

Stage 2 - Archive Clone Account To Mail Archive

  1. If you are not a space administrator for the target space, contact your Confluence administrator to request Space Admin permission. You need to be a space administrator before you can add a mail account to the space.
  2. Go to Browse > Mail.
  3. Click on Mail Accounts under the heading 'Mail' in the left panel to show the list of existing mail accounts.
  4. Click Add mail account located at the top of the page.
  5. Enter configuration details for the account. The protocol may be POP/S or IMAP/S. Click Create when finished.

Configured accounts will have their mail downloaded and removed from the server, so make sure you are downloading from a clone account.

 

 
Note: 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.
