When you have successfully logged in to your mailbox (see Logging In), you will hear an announcement telling you about the messages that you have. For example, you hear the number of voice messages.

You can listen to your messages or record a new message and send it.

If any of your messages are emails, you can also reply. If any of your messages are fax messages, you can specify a personal fax number so that you can forward or print them.You will only receive email and/or fax messages configured by your system administrator.

By default messages are played to you in the order listed below.

Each message starts with a header, which contains details about who the message is from (if known) and when it was left. For fax messages, the header includes the number of pages. You can change the order if you prefer to hear the types of message in a different order, for example email messages first. For more information, see Setting the Order in which Messages are Played.

Message of all types are grouped in to the following categories. Priority messages are played first, followed by new messages and then old messages.
