Configuring Integrated Messaging (IMAP)
Integrated messaging is a feature for Cisco Unity Express that allows users to manage voice-mail messages by using an
Integrated Messaging Access Protocol (IMAP)-compatible email client. The following clients are supported:
-
Cisco Mobile 8.0
-
IBM Lotus Notes (8.5, 8.0 and 7.0)
-
Microsoft Entourage 2008 (for MacOS)
-
Microsoft Outlook (2010, 2007, 2003)
-
Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0
-
Microsoft Windows Live Mail 12.0
-
Iphone third party clients
Voice messages are received as email attachments in the form of .wav files. After it is enabled in
Integrated Messaging Service Configuration, IMAP works automatically on a system-wide basis when you open your email client to check incoming voice-mail.
Note Integrated messaging is available for personal mailboxes only.
