Cause

Bamboo persists mail server configuration in bamboo-mail.cfg.xml file, located in <BAMBOO_HOME> directory.

The file has become corrupt, and the error happens when you attempt to add/edit a plans build notifications or view the mail server configuration.

Resolution

Reconfiguring your Bamboo mail server will fix the problem. To do this:

  1. Shutdown Bamboo;
  2. Delete the <BAMBOO_HOME>/bamboo-mail.cfg.xml file;
  3. Restart Bamboo and reconfigure your mail server.
