Unified Messaging with HiPath Xpressions

Differences Between E-Mail, Voice Mail and Fax Mail

1.2 Differences Between E-Mail, Voice Mail and Fax Mail
All messages stored in HiPath Xpressions are e-mail messages. Your e-mail client, therefore,
displays all messages as e-mail messages. All voice or fax messages are provided as attach-
ments to the e-mail. The purpose of the telephone access facility to your mailbox, however, is
to distribute all messages according to the service. E-mail messages that only comprise an au-
dio attachment are displayed as voice mails and messages that only comprise an image attach-
ment are displayed as fax messages. You can configure Outlook 97, Outlook 98, Outlook 2000
or Outlook 2002 (Outlook XP) so that voice and fax messages are specially flagged. You can
achieve this by installing special forms (see Section 2.6.2).
