The 'Mail Page' plugin allows anyone with the 'View' space permission to email a Confluence page.

(info) Confluence versions 2.4 and later come with the 'Mail Page' plugin preinstalled.

The 'Mail Page' plugin is disabled by default. This is because, when someone emails a Confluence page, they can select from a list of all Confluence users and groups (note, however, that email addresses are not visible), or even mail the page to arbitrary addresses. If you have enabled anonymous access or self-signup, visitors could potentially use this feature to send spam or nuisance email through your Confluence server.

Please note that this plugin only works when the mail server is configured.

To enable the 'Mail Page' plugin,

  1. Go to the 'Administration Console' and click 'Plugins' (under 'Configuration' in the left panel).
  2. This will list all plugins that are currently installed in your Confluence system. Click 'Mail Page Plugin'.
  3. This will display the 'Mail Page Plugin' details. To enable the 'Mail Page' plugin, click 'Enable plugin'.
  4. Ensure that both of the following are enabled:
  • 'Mail Page Link' — displays the 'E-mail' link next to the 'Copy' link on the 'Page Info' screen (see 'E-mailing a page')
  • 'mailpageactions' — enables the e-mail operation to be performed.
