If your space uses the Documentation theme:

Note: The Space Admin option appears only if you have space admin permissions, or if you're part of the 'confluence-administrators' group.
- Choose Mailbox Import in the space administration options.

Notes
- Only site spaces can store mail archives. Personal spaces cannot. See Spaces for an explanation of site spaces and personal spaces.
- Confluence mail archiving is an optional feature. This means that the 'Mail' options may be disabled and will therefore not appear in the Confluence user interface. Mail archiving features are contained in a bundled plugin. To activate mail archiving features in Confluence, enable the plugin – choose
> General Configuration > Manage Add-ons. Then choose System in the drop down, and enable the Confluence Mail Archiving Plugin. For security reasons mail can only be imported from a specified location in the Confluence server's file system. We recommend administrators create a folder in their Confluence home directory, add the system property
confluence.mbox.directoryand specify the location for mailboxes to be imported from . Mail cannot be imported from the server until this system property is set. See Configuring System Properties.
