5. Let’s step through the process of listening to a voicemail message using your Email program
For this example, we’re going to use Outlook, but you can use Eudora, and other programs
We’ll discuss the specific issues if you’re software or options you’ve set will need to be changed
We’ll launch our program and look at the voic messages …

6. Voicemail Message in Outlook
SUBJECT field indicates “Message from…” followed by either the person’s phone number, name (if caller is within ENGR and using a VOIP phone), or unidentified caller if caller ID is not available on caller’s phone
FROM field indicates “Unity Messaging System…
In Outlook, ‘Horn’ icon indicates voic message
Paper clip icon indicates an attachment
(voic is a .wav attachment)
[same in Eudora]

8. Opening a Voicemail Message within Email
To open a voic message within your program:
Simply doubleclick on the message to open it up
just as you would any normal message you’d receive
Doubleclick on the voic attachment (.wav file)
OR if you have Viewmail installed, the attachment will play automatically
Let’s open a message up …

9. Opening Voicemail Messages
You open a
voic
message
the same way
you would any
file attachment
(in Outlook,
Eudora, etc.)
Open message and doubleclick on the .wav file attachment to play the voic message

11. Forwarding a Voicemail message to someone else…
You can forward a voic message to someone else once you’ve listened to the message
You forward just as you would any other message you’ve received
Advantages:
No need to write a message to someone
The person gets the actual file attachment and simply doubleclicks on it to listen to the original message left
Let’s forward a voic message…

12. Forwarding a Voicemail Message
Once message is selected, click Forward icon
You can forward a voic message by selecting the message and using the Forward command in your program, just as any other message
You forward a
voic

Eudora, etc.)

14. Deleting your Voicemail Messages…
You should delete your voic messages that are no longer needed
Space on the server will be limited
There is a quota for each user regarding storage space for s and attachments
You delete your voic messages just as you would any other message you receive
Let’s delete a voic message…

15. Deleting a Voicemail Message
Once message is selected, use the Delete icon of your program (or any other Delete function you normally use in Outlook, Eudora, etc.)
You can delete a voic message by selecting the message and using the DELETE command in your program, just as any normal message
NOTE: Voic s can be saved, just as
you save any message, but
it will be important that you
delete any unwanted & unnecessary
voic messages
because of the space used on the
server.
Simply delete as you normally would in
your program (Outlook, Eudora, etc.)

17. You can check your voicemail remotely using your Browser & Accessing Webmail
Using your browser, you can access Webmail to run your voic messages back, provided that you don’t have your mail forwarded from ENGR to another mail server and your voic messages are on the server
Example: If you’re at home or away from your office, you can use any browser to access your voic messages/ messages by connecting to Webmail
Let’s access our voic messages using Internet Explorer …

18. Accessing your Voice Mail Using Engineering’s Webmail
Launch your browser from anywhere:
<you’ll get an alert that you’re going over a secure connection—click [OK]>
<you’ll be asked to enter your ENGR network username & password>

19. WebMail (ENGR) looks like this from your browser…
When using Webmail through your browser, notice that your voic messages will look identical – the paperclip will indicate the voic attachment, the FROM area will have ‘Unity Messaging System,’ and the SUBJECT area will have ‘Message from…’ – simply open the message and the attachment

21. EMAIL ISSUES Relating to Voicemail
Forwarding Issues
Do you need to change your current forwarding if you have multiple mail accounts?
Options for Retrieving Voic s
Using phone
Using Webmail (with your browser)
Using your program

22. Your Email Program as well as any Forwarding you set will affect how you can access your voicemails…
Many users in the College have multiple accounts
ENGR mail account
CAC (ITS) mail account (university)
Department mail account
Departments that are running their own mail server may have all users accessing mail from that server
The various VoIP phone/ capabilities will be dependent upon how you have your mail forwarded (if you have multiple accounts)
How you are forwarding your will affect how you can access your voic messages
Using phone
Using Webmail
Using [provided that mail is on the server]

23. If you do have MULTIPLE Email accounts and are forwarding your email…
If you forward your from the ENGR mail server
You won’t be able to access your voic s using your phone or using Webmail, but you can access the voic s from your program
Provided that the /voic is on the server (EX: Eudora options ‘Leave mail on server’)
Let’s take a look at some typical scenarios concerning the forwarding issue on the following slides…

24. If you use ENGR and do NOT forward…
Unity Server
ENGR
Mail Server
Incoming Voic
NO FORWARDING SET
.wav file attachment
If you are using ENGR’s mail server and not forwarding to another mail server, you can access your voic s by either:
Using a phone
Using ENGR’s Webmail
Using your program
Voic becomes .wav attachment
Phone (at work or remote location)
Webmail
Launch your program
[provided that mail is on the server]

25. If you forward your mail from ENGR to CAC(ITS)…
Incoming Voic
Unity Server
ENGR
Mail Server
CAC(ITS) or another Mail Server
.wav file attachment
.wav file attachment
Voic becomes .wav attachment
Forwarding set—attachment sent to another server NO NO
Issue: If you forward your mail to the University’s mail server or another mail server other than ENGR’s mail server, your voic s along with your s will be forwarded and you will only be able to access your voic s through your program, NOT your phone or ENGR’s webmail
Phone
(at work or remote location)
ENGR’s Webmail
Launch your program
[provided that mail is on the server]

26. EUDORA Users - If you use ENGR Mail Server, have Eudora (POP client) , and do NOT forward to CAC (ITS)…
ENGR
Mail Server
Unity Server
Incoming Voic
.wav file attachment
NO FORWARDING SET to Univ. mail server
NOTE: If you delete your voic s through the phone or through your program/web , they are DELETED everywhere.
Voic becomes .wav attachment
Issue: Because Eudora ‘checks’ mail, your red light on handset will turn off and voic will appear as ‘read’ even though the voic is new
You can access your voic s via the phone but they will be identified as saved messages, not new voic
Eudora
Launch your program
[provided that mail is on the server]
Phone
(at work or remote location)
ENGR’s Webmail
From office phone:
Touch [Messages], enter password
Touch
In EUDORA or using ENGR’s Webmail (using your browser), you will be able to access and listen to your voic s at any time by accessing your and checking your IN box for voic messages.
If dialing in remotely, call Enter your 5-digit office phone # (ID) Enter your password, then touch
