Steps to Reproduce:
- Create an pop mail connection, and wait to see your email, then get the id from the mail.
For example: http://127.0.0.1:808/display/DSP/mail/*753669* - Following this documentation.
- Create a new page and write in the WikiMarkup area [$753669] then save that.
- You'll see that's working fine.
- Upgrade to 4.1.7
- Try to edit that page, which we linked that email.
- You'll see that's noway to save that.
Workaround:
- There's no workaround for that.
[CONFSERVER-25260] Page fails to save if it contains a link to an E-Mail Archive
Thank you for raising this issue. While I can see how this feature would be useful, we have no plans to implement it in the foreseeable future. In order to set expectations, we're closing this request now. Thanks again for your idea.

added a comment - Bug still present in Confluence 5.0.3 Is there really no workaround? What is the recommended strategy to get rid of this problem: clean all pages from links to email and do not use it in the future? Wait for a fix (the defect is reported almost year ago, so probably waiting for a fix is not a good idea... :-/ ). Is this really a problem limited to a few people who voted for it?
An upgrade is not needed to reproduce the issue on Confluence 4.2. Just try to save a page that contains a link to a mail archive and it will fail. This is the error shown in the log:

added a comment - Problem still exists in 4.2.
This appears to have been fixed at some version between 5.0.2 and 5.4.1 since it is working again after my latest upgrade. I assume the fix came after 5.2.3 and by 5.4.1 given Nick Galichin's previous comment. So the Resolution status of this could probably be changed. I am very glad to have this feature back!
