Access Examples
Example 1
Requirements Tom (login name tom) does not expect to get email at his
Allworx server address, but instead uses an external email
account ([e-mail]). His Allworx server voicemail
should be sent to the external email account, but should also
be available from his phone.
Configuration Set up an Allworx server Message Alias for Tom to forward all
his messages to his external email account as well as keep a
copy on the Allworx server. Create a new message alias such
that:
Set the email Alias to tom.
Set members to tom and [e-mail].
Commentary Tom will use his phone to delete old voicemail messages. If
any email is sent to his Allworx server account, it will be
forwarded to his external account, leaving a copy on the
Allworx server. If email accumulates on the server, he will
need to periodically connect with a POP email client to delete
the old email messages.
Example 2
Requirements Tom is a remote user of the system and does not have a
phone. His extension is configured to send all calls directly to
his voicemail. He does not want to call in to get his voicemail,
but instead wants all email and voicemail messages to be sent
directly to his external email account ([e-mail]).
Configuration Set up an Allworx server Message Alias for Tom to forward all
his messages to his external email account. Create a new
message alias such that:
Email Alias is set to tom.
Members is set to [e-mail].
Commentary Tom will get all his email and voicemail messages using his
external email account. Since the system deletes the
messages off the server after forwarding, he does not need to
periodically delete anything.
