About Your Voice Mail
Mitel

NuPoint Unified Messenger™ allows you to manage your voice mail, Record-A-Call
(RAC), fax, and Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
email messages from a touch-tone phone as well as from
your PC.
Voice mail, Record-A-Call, fax, and email are all "messages" that are accessible through your
voice mailbox and that you access using a menu system. The Voice Mail menu provides access
to most of the voice mailbox features and options including fax messages. Any voice mail user
can access this menu. The Email menu only provides access to emails and is available only
to users with the Advanced Unified Messaging feature with Text-to-Speech option.
In addition to accessing your messages over the phone, you can now play and manage your
voice messages from your Microsoft Outlook inbox. You install a plug-in player that allows you
to play voice messages from your email inbox over your PC speakers or over the phone. To
use this feature, you must have the Advanced Unified Messaging feature. For more information,
see “Using Your PC for Fax Messages” on page 19.
A Speech Auto Attendant (SAA) is also available to place calls to people by using voice
commands. The SAA is a speech-enabled application that allows you to place calls to people
quickly and efficiently by speaking their names. In addition to placing calls by name, you can
say a department name or telephone number. A tutorial introduces you to the system features,
and voice-based help is available to answer questions. See “Speech Auto Attendant Optional
Feature” on page 32 for more information.
