Purpose

Improve performance in Confluence when it is being compromised by automatic mail polling. It can be disabled by following the instructions below. Mail retrieval will still work if a user triggers "Check for new mail" manually.

Solution

To disable automatic mail polling you would need to add the following parameter to your JVM's JAVA_OPTS and then restart Confluence.

-Dconfluence.disable.mailpolling=true
