To allow email users to access their Bulk folders through a POP3 email client, the administrator must configure an incoming recipient-based policy that matches the email user’s address, where POP3 access to the quarantine is enabled, and the authentication profile is selected.

For details, see “Controlling email based on recipient addresses” and “Configuring authentication profiles”.

Once this is configured, the administrator informs email users of the IP address and POP3 port number of the FortiMail unit, which they will use when configuring their email client to connect. After their email client is connected, email users will see their Bulk folder. (Unlike server mode, in gateway mode or transparent mode, this is the only mailbox folder.)

Methods vary by the email client. For details, see the email client’s documentation.
