To allow email users to access their Inbox, Bulk, and other folders through an email client, the administrator must configure an incoming recipient-based policy that matches the email user’s address, where POP3/IMAPv4 access to the quarantine is enabled.

Once this is configured, the administrator informs email users of the IP address and POP3/IMAPv4 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 mailbox folders, including their Inbox and Bulk.

If tagged spam (see “Configuring antispam action profiles”) appears in their Inbox, email users can use their email client’s filtering rules to redirect spam email to their Bulk folder or other folder.

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