what about storage? how many email boxes create? Do you have any configuration guide for that?

[FarinaAhmed · Accepted solution]

The number of email boxes you can create and the storage capacity for each box may depend on the specific FortiMail model you are using, as well as its configuration. Different FortiMail models offer varying storage capacities, and the number of email boxes you can create may also be influenced by factors such as available disk space and system resources.

To determine the maximum number of email boxes and the storage configuration for your FortiMail appliance, it is recommended to consult the product documentation provided by Fortinet or reach out to their support team.

Hi,

I can definitely help you understand FortiMail's "Server Mode" and its features.

In FortiMail, "Server Mode" refers to the mode in which the FortiMail unit is used as a standalone email server. In this mode, FortiMail can perform email filtering, routing, and other mail server functions without the need for an external email server.

Here are some of the features of FortiMail's Server Mode:

1. Email Filtering - FortiMail can filter incoming and outgoing emails for spam, viruses, and other types of malicious content.

2. Email Routing - FortiMail can route emails to specific mailboxes or servers based on various criteria, such as sender, recipient, subject, and content.

3. Email Archiving - FortiMail can archive emails for compliance and legal purposes.

4. Email Encryption - FortiMail can encrypt emails to protect sensitive information.

5. Email Authentication - FortiMail can perform email authentication checks, such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, to prevent email spoofing and phishing attacks.

In Server Mode, FortiMail can also be used in conjunction with external email servers, such as Microsoft Exchange or Office 365, to provide additional email security and filtering.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.
