mailsetting storage config

Use these commands to configure the FortiMail unit to store mail data such as queues and email user mailboxes either on its local hard disks, or on a network file storage (NFS or ISCSI) server.

If the FortiMail unit is operating in an HA group, remote storage may be required or recommended. For more information, see the FortiMail Administration Guide.
