Introduction

Cisco ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook provides a visual interface with which users can send, listen to, and manage their Cisco Unity Connection voice messages from Outlook. ViewMail for Outlook also allows Cisco Unity users to listen to their voice messages from Outlook.

Users can be set up with ViewMail to access Cisco Unity voice messages in Exchange, or to access Connection voice messages by using IMAP or by using the single-inbox feature (synchronization of Connection and Microsoft Exchange mailboxes). Note the following considerations with ViewMail for Outlook:

Single inbox users	•Users get voice messages in the same Inbox as their email. •With Cisco Unity Connection 9.1(1) and later, new voice messages get identified by a separate voice message icon. •Voice messages sent from Outlook do not appear in the Sent Items folder. •ViewMail for Outlook is not required with the single inbox feature. Without it, however, users can only play voice messages; they cannot compose, reply to, or forward them. •ViewMail for Outlook is required for users to play secure messages in the Exchange mailbox.
IMAP users	•Users get voice messages in a separate mail folder in Outlook. •New voice messages get identified by a separate voice message icon. •ViewMail for Outlook is required for users to play secure messages in the Connection mailbox.
Cisco Unity users	•Users get voice messages in the same Inbox as their email. •Users can play unsecure voice messages by using audio devices on their computers. •Users can play secure and unsecure voice messages by using their phones. •Users cannot compose, reply to, or forward voice messages.

---

Note•On Windows operating system with ViewMail for Outlook, the text of the voice messages appears in black color and the ViewMail category appears in blue color. However, on MAC operating system, the text of the voice messages and the ViewMail category appears in the system default color.

•When there is no default recording device available on the Windows machines and the user selects the recording device from Phone to Computer Default option then ViewMail for Outlook will always consider Phone as default recording device.

Requirements

Revised May 13, 2013

•The ViewMail for Outlook version must be supported with the version of Outlook that is installed and the operating system. See the applicable documentation:

–The "ViewMail (With Connection 9.x and Connection in Cisco Unified CMBE 9.x)" section of Compatibility Matrix: Cisco Unity Connection and the Software on User Workstations at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/compatibility/matrix/cucclientmtx.html.

•The following software installed on the user workstation:

–Microsoft DirectX

–Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5

–Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package

(If the software is not already installed, ViewMail for Outlook Setup installs it.)

•To install or upgrade ViewMail for Outlook, you must have local administrator rights on the user workstation.

•The user workstation must have at least 10 MB of hard-disk space available for ViewMail for Outlook. (If other required software is being installed,100 MB or more may be required.)

•Cisco Unity Connection versions 9.x and 8.x, and Cisco Unity versions 8.x and 7.x support ViewMail for Outlook version 8.5(6) and later.

•To use the telephone playback feature with Cisco Unity version 7.x, you must install Cisco Unity Voicemail Web Service (VMWS) on the Cisco Unity server.

•If the proxy is enabled on the user workstation, then it must be connected to port 443 (HTTPS) to allow the communication between ViewMail for Outlook and Cisco Unity Connection.

Incompatibility with Exchange System Management Tools

ViewMail for Outlook version 9.0(2) does not work correctly when it is installed on a computer that also has Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools installed.

Installing a New Version of Outlook Requires Uninstalling ViewMail First

When installing a new version of Microsoft Outlook on user workstations, you must first uninstall ViewMail for Outlook. After you have installed Outlook, reinstall ViewMail.

Otherwise, ViewMail for Outlook will seem to be installed properly with the new version of Outlook, but it may not work.

Message Sensitivity Displays as Blank for Normal Sensitivity Messages Recorded in ViewMail

Users whose Outlook clients are configured to display the Sensitivity field in the message-list view may notice that messages recorded in ViewMail for Outlook with the Sensitivity set to Normal do not display any text in the Sensitivity field.

Messages recorded by using the Cisco Unity Connection phone interface (as well as email messages composed in Outlook) display "Normal" in the Sensitivity field.

Some Software on User Workstations Can Cause ViewMail to Fail

Some security and VPN software installed on user workstations may cause ViewMail for Outlook to fail. In particular, software that offers personal firewalls is problematic.

Exceptions may need to be added to the problematic software to allow ViewMail to work. Alternatively, you can set up ViewMail so that users can play messages with audio devices on their computers.

---

Note In ViewMail for Outlook 9.0(2) and later, if the user connects or disconnects the audio devices, it is recommended to restart Outlook, so that ViewMail for Outlook displays the status of currently attached recording and playback devices only.

---

To Compose Voice Messages, Connection Server Must Be Available

In order to compose voice messages by using ViewMail for Outlook with Cisco Unity Connection 8.5 and later, ViewMail must be able to contact the Connection server. If the server is not available, users will see the following message: "The requested action could not be performed because the voicemail server was not available."

In earlier ViewMail versions, voice messages could be recorded while the Connection server was unavailable and were sent when the server became available again.

ViewMail for Outlook 9.0(2) Limitations Regarding Reply and Forward Cisco Unity Voice Messages in Connection 9.0, 8.0, and 7.x

In Connection versions 9.0, 8.0, and 7.x, users cannot reply to, or forward Cisco Unity voice messages or .wav files by using ViewMail for Outlook version 9.0(2).

ViewMail for Outlook 9.0(2) Limitations Regarding Icon Update when a Voice Message is read or unread

When a voice mail is marked read or unread using ViewMail for Outlook 9.0(2), the state of voice mail Icon is not updated regardless of the Microsoft Outlook version.

ViewMail for Outlook 9.0(2) Limitations Regarding Cisco Unity 5 Message Playback

When playing a Cisco Unity 5 message using ViewMail for Outlook with "VMO Play Attachment" feature, audio progress bar is not updated and time duration is not displayed on the VMO audio pane of the VoiceMail.

ViewMail for Outlook 64 Bit Limitation Regarding G.729

ViewMail for Outlook 64 bit version is not supported for G.729 codec.
