Mail Configuration
Navigate to Confluence Administration → click on the “Page Beam” menu link on the left side under the “Apps” section and click on the second tab “Mail Configuration”.
Mail Settings
In the first field of the “Mail Settings” you can decide whether you want to send mails via our mail server or via your own mail server.
More information about our mail server can be found here: Data Security & Privacy (Cloud)
If you want to use your own mail server, you have to enter further technical details in the “Mailserver account” section.
From Address
Define the mail address to be displayed as the originator header information in sent e-mails.
Whether and which sender addresses can be set depends on the mail server used. Some mail servers, for example GMail, force mails to be sent with the sender address that corresponds to the user name. If you use our mail server, this field is hidden and the from address is fixed to “confluence🔁mailpage.app”.
Regardless of the sender address, the email address of the Confluence user who sends the mail via Page Beam App is always set as Reply-To. This ensures that a reply to the mail always arrives at the real sender.
From Name
This is the display name of the sender to be shown in sent mails.
If you always want to dynamically set the profile name of the Confluence user who sends the mail via Page Beam as the mail sender name, check the box: “Set the mail from name to the name of the Confluence user sending the mail.“
If the checkbox is set, the value entered in the From Name input field is ignored.
Subject Prefix
This will be the default prefix to the subject information for each e-mail.
Mailserver Account
Server Hostname
Configure the hostname of your mail server to be used to send out mails.

Define the TCP port for the mail server
Username
Provide the username credential for authentication to the server

Provide the password credential for authentication to the server
