Managing the disk usage of email users mailboxes
If your email users often send or receive large attachments, email users’ mailboxes may rapidly consume the hard disk space of the FortiMail unit. You can manage the disk usage of email users’ mailboxes by monitoring the size of the folders, and optionally deleting their contents.
For example, if each email user has a mailbox folder named “Spam” that receives tagged spam, you might want to periodically empty the contents of these folders to reclaim hard disk space.
Alternatively, you can assign email users’ disk space quota in their resource profile. For details, see
“Configuring resource profiles (server mode only)”.
To empty a mailbox folder
1. Go to User > User > User.
2. Select the check box for the user.
3. Click Maintenance.
A list of mailbox folder names with their hard disk usages appears.
4. Select the mailbox folder that you want to empty, such as Trash, then click Empty.
A confirmation dialog appears.
5. Click OK.
