• We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It would be very helpful to have a startup parameter to disable the sending and/or receiving of email.
      Jira has this, as described here.

      The request arose from CSP-13262, in which the site admin regularly test-restores backups. Firewall-based kludges will work, but a built-in facility within Confluence would be far tidier.
