Why is this low priority? This is critical for us as we cannot access the mail server via POP.
Timescales on this?

Hi Darren,

This is marked with a low priority since there is usually a workaround to provide a pop3 interface on an imap server. There is currently no timeframe for this. Please see http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Implementation+of+New+Features+and+Improvements for details on how we schedule our releases.

Regards,
-Daniel

Unfortunately i don't think i can add this functionality via a plugin, else i'd try and code it myself.
We have Jira too and that has IMAP capability. I'll have a look there and see if i can port it across.

Any pointers to where i can find the code?

In Confluence, DefaultMailAccountManager is where you want to start looking.

Voted for this. Opening up POP is a security risk for us, so we can't use email in Confluence as a result.

We discontinued all forms of POP several years ago, and only provide IMAPS now. We're just starting to deploy instances of Confluence and need the integrated E-mail features. This is an important feature for us that needs to be added ASAP.

Chaps, this needs some escalation.

We too dont have POP3 available - and can only use IMAP. And the Mail Archive feature is going to be very important for us.

Jira has IMAP support - I find it a bit odd that confleunce doesnt...

I am interested in the IMAP support more than the IMAPS - but that aside, can we get something moving on this?

Raised the priority on this one.

I'd really like to see this and ~~CONF-3907~~ resolved soon – these are preventing us from archiving our email on our wiki, and I think it's a shame that so many others are in the same boat. This sould be escalated further, as it makes a pretty big feature of Confluence entirely unusable for those of us who can't use plain old POP.
