12 Message Folders
Amanda Portal Station can be used for more than just administration. It can also be used
by mailbox owners to log into Amanda through the network or Internet (when configured
appropriately) to retrieve voice and fax messages. When doing so, the “Message Folders”
are used to play, organize and delete messages in folders 0-9.
Users who have Amanda Portal Station installed on their PC can log into Amanda Portal
Station using their mailbox number and password. After logging into their mailbox, they
can retrieve their messages using the “Message Folders” (as shown in figure 57).
Figure 57
Figure 57 shows 3 messages recorded for mailbox 501. Each message shows the date and
time it was recorded, who it was originally recorded for (To), who the message is from
(in this case outside callers), if the message has any special attributes (such as urgent or
private) and the length of each message in seconds. Amanda can play the messages
through the sound card and speakers, or using the telephone (when configured
appropriately in the sound interface). To quickly play any of the messages, select the
message you wish to play and click “Play/Review”, for a quicker playing of the message,
just double click it. To find out more information about the message using the Amanda
message form, right click on the message and you’ll see the following information (as
shown in figure 58).
