Configuring rotation settings
The following procedure is part of the email archive account configuration process. For general procedures about how to configure an archive account, see
“Configuring email archiving accounts”. For information about how to use the email archiving feature, see
“Email archiving workflow”.
1. Go to Email Archiving > Archive Accounts.
2. Click New to create a new account or double click on an existing account to edit it.
3. Under Rotation Settings, enter the Mailbox rotation size and Mailbox rotation time.
When the mailbox reaches either the rotation size or time specified, whichever comes first, the email archiving mailbox is automatically renamed. The FortiMail unit generates a new mailbox file, where it continues saving email archives. You can access all rotated mailboxes through search.
4. In Archiving options when disk quota is full, specify what the FortiMail unit should do if it runs out of disk space. Select Overwrite to removes the oldest email archive folder in order to make space for the new archive or select Do not archive to stop archiving more email.
Whenever an archiving account reaches its disk quota, FortiMail may send an alert email to the administrator, if you enable this feature under
Log and Report > Alert Email. For details, see
“Configuring alert categories”.
| You cannot manually delete specific archived email messages. The only way to delete all of the email archives is to format the mail data disk. |
