Mail Archiving Features are Now Optional

Confluence Mail Archiving is an optional feature from Confluence 4.1 onwards. This means that the Mail elements in the Confluence interface as mentioned on this page will not appear in the user interface by default.

Mail archiving features are now contained in a bundled plugin. To activate mail archiving features in Confluence, activate the plugin from Confluence Admin > Configuration > Plugins > Show System Plugins > Confluence Mail Archiving Plugin.

The user interface and functionality of the feature have not changed.

To delete mail for a space, you require 'Remove Mail' permission which is assigned by a space administrator from the Space Administration screens. See Space Permissions or contact a space administrator for more information.
Only a space administrator can delete all email messages for the space simultaneously.

To delete mail for a space:

  1. Go to Browse > Mail.
  2. Go to the Mail tab. A list of messages in the space is displayed in reverse chronological order.
  3. Delete an individual email by clicking the trash icon beside it. Deleted mail is stored under Trash and can be restored by a space administrator from the 'Space Admin tab.
    If you are a space administrator, you can delete all email messages within a space at once by clicking on the Delete All link at the top of the mail view.

Warning

Email messages deleted using the Delete All option cannot be restored.
