Note that if not configured as a trusted source for that other user's mailbox, the user will have to enter the mailbox password for that mailbox when accessing it.

  • Visual Voice: On telephone that support Visual Voice, the user name is shown along with the number of new messages. Press the display button to access the user mailbox.
