Signature |
If you usually add the same text to the end of every email that you write, instead of typing it manually, you can create a signature. Signatures, as the name implies, are often a closing farewell and your name, but could also be: contact information, a quote, or other text. |
Forward message |
Specify email forwarding options: either "Inline" or "As Attachment". |
Handle 'mail to' link |
Specify how to handle mailto links: If this option is turned on, when you click a mailto link in the mail body, the FortiMail webmail dialog will be launched for you to compose the new message; if this option is turned off, the default email client of the operating system will be launched for email composing. |

Auto reply |
People sending you email will usually expect a prompt reply. If you know that you will be away for an extended period of time, such as if you will be traveling and unable to check your email, or if you will be on holiday, you can turn on an automatic reply to notify senders that you are unavailable. When automatic replies are enabled, if you receive an email, FortiMail webmail will automatically reply to the sender with your out-of-office message. To configure auto reply settings
Auto reply interval is between 0 and 30 days. 0 means to always reply.

Auto forward |
If you want to receive email from this account at a different email address, you can configure email forwarding. Each time this email address receives an email, FortiMail webmail will automatically forward a copy to your forwarding email address(es). Of course, you can also manually forward email to different email addresses. For both automatic and manual email forwarding, you can choose to forward the email message as an attachment or an inline message. You can enter up to five (5) email addresses. |
Leave a copy in mailbox |
If you want to keep forwarded email at this account, enable Leave a copy in mailbox. Otherwise, disable the option to have FortiMail webmail delete email after it forwards a copy to your forwarding address(es). |

Block List/Safe List |
Click Edit to manually manage the block or safe list. In the popup dialog box, you can add or delete email addresses in the block or safe list. You can also backup or restore the block/safe list. Note: In addition to your personal safe list and personal block list, your network administrator may have configured FortiMail webmail with system-wide or per-domain safe lists and block lists, which have priority over your personal settings. If your block list or safe list is not working as you expect, ask your network administrator. |
Add outgoing email to Safe List |
If the people to whom you send email can be trusted to never send spam to you, you can safelist their email addresses. This guarantees that replies or other email they send to you is never accidentally marked as spam, and therefore will not be rejected, discarded, or quarantined (that is, sent to your Bulk mailbox folder). To safelist the recipients of email that you send, turn this option on. Tip: Alternatively, you can manually add individual email addresses to your personal white list or personal block list. |
Receive quarantine report |
Depending on the configuration your network administrator has chosen, you might notice that spam email appears in your Bulk mailbox folder, also known as a personal quarantine. Related to this, you might periodically receive a quarantine report that lists recent additions to the personal quarantine, and enables you to release or delete email in the quarantine. To receive your personal quarantine reports, turn this option on. |
