      Environment

      • Jira Cloud

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Check and confirm default mail handler exists on Cloud instance
      2. Import a Jira site backup on the same Cloud instance
      3. Check the mail handler page after import is completed

      Expected Results

      Default POP Mail Server has the host and username set

      Actual Results

      Workaround

      You can manually recreate the default POP mail server by editing the mail handler and manually setting hostname to 'mailstore', username to jira@<CLOUD INSTANCE>.atlassian.net, and a random password. Click update to have the changes saved. You should now be able to use the mail server for any of your mail handlers you have set up.
