Adding a Mail Account

When you add a mail account, you are configuring Confluence to download mail from that account and archive it within the space.

You need to be a space administrator to add a mail account for a space.

To add a new pop-account,

Click on the 'Browse Space' link for the space. This is located at the top of every page and beside the space link on the dashboard.
Go to the 'Space Admin' tab and click on 'Mail Accounts' under the heading 'Mail' in the left panel. This will bring up a new screen listing the existing mail accounts and displaying a link to add a new pop-account.
Click 'Add new pop-account' located at the top of the page. This will bring up a form into which you need to enter your pop-account configuration details.
Enter the details (See below) and click 'Create'.
