Anyone have any tips or a tutorial for opening the ports for IMAP? The manuals aren' t real clear on this. Fortigate-60 I totally adore this product. I just wish the manual was a bit more clear on this. Got a user with an Iphone so I thought I would try enabling IMAP for her. I went into FIREWALL > POLICY. CREATE NEW SOURCE>ZONE: WAN1 ADDY NAME: ALL INTERFACE>ZONE:Internal ADDRESS NAME: (this is my mail server internal addy? So I should CREATE NEW?) SERVICE: IMAP Do I HAVE to turn anything else on? Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a search and found nothing. And since my support contract ran out, I have been trying to figure this out on my own. Fortinet was supposed to contact me about renewing my support contract, but strangely I never heard from them. Ah.... the joys of using resellers. ;) Anyway... I appreciate ANY help. Great product you have here.

    You need define a VIP for this task and configure it within that firewall policy It' s a very basic thing; Search the VIP through the docs at http://docs.forticare.com/fgt.html Specially, " FortiGate Administration Guide" If you run firmware 3.0, you' ll finde useful: # SOHO and SMB Configuration Example Guide http://docs.forticare.com/fgt/techdocs/FortiGate_Example_SOHO_01-30004-0062-20070115.pdf If you run firmware 2.80, http://kc.forticare.com/default.asp?id=426&Lang=1&SID= Doing a search throughout http://kc.forticare.com you have another link you can adapt to your need: http://kc.forticare.com/default.asp?id=2945&Lang=1&SID=

    Fantastic, thank you. We have 3.0. I have the admin guide, but the link you gave me is what I needed. The router I had at my last job was really a glorified Linksys consumer router. I really can' t recommend this Fortigate-60 enough. QUALITY product. ;)
