Hello @v-mchette,

Thank you for reaching out on the Atlassian Community.

I can confirm, the upcoming changes to the supported TLS cipher suites is directly related to Jiras Incoming Mail Handler feature only, and will not affect other parts of the application.

Hi Nathan, do you happen to know how I can tell which authentication type my incoming mail connection uses (basic vs OAuth)?

Also, our Jira instance uses the Default Cloud Mail Server - is this affected by the change?

Thanks!

If using the Default Cloud Mail Server within your site, as we here at Atlassian manage those mail systems, you do not need to worry about any changes and will not be affected.

In regards to your question, if you navigate directly to your sites incoming mail page, you will be able to see the Default Cloud Mail Server, as well as any additional mail servers, along with the protocol those servers are using as in my example of my incoming mail page below:
