Disabling mail polling in Confluence will prevent Confluence from checking for new mail automatically, but mail retrieval will still work if a user triggers "Check for new mail" manually.

To disable automatic mail polling you would need to restart Confluence with the following parameter in your JVM's JAVA_OPTS:

-Dconfluence.disable.mailpolling=true
