    Try in the protection profile under AV.

    use CLI to adjust how your AV should manage the uncompression of scanned files for pop3 service
      config antivirus service pop3    set uncompnestlimit  <value>  end  
    where <value> = max nested compression levels to scan (2-100) default = 12.

    There is no unchecking of that limit. It' s the largest uncompressed file size that will be scanned. Anything larger will be passed through...unless you block it with the oversized file threshold, but that' s a separate thing entirely. The default is 10 MB, and the maximum size depends on the FortiGate model.

    indeed, correction: the parameter to correct is another different:
      config antivirus service pop3      set   uncompsizelimit <value>    end  
    where for an 100A unit is: <value> = max uncompressed size to scan (1-24MB or use 0 for unlimited) apologies for the noise,

    It' s possible that avalaible memory be exhausted when the unit tried to uncompress the file to scan it.

    All this means is that one of the attachments reached the uncompressed size limit, and skipped scanning that attachment. In 4.1 this is now logged, before it was not.
