You can also choose for messages to be played with oldest first, newest first, or priority/urgent messages first. Once a caller chooses a sub-mailbox number (1, 2, 3, etc.), he/she will then hear the personal greeting for that mailbox. The message the caller leaves is private for that sub-mailbox owner and can be retrieved only by that owner with his/her password. If the caller does not choose a sub-mailbox number, or presses the # key, the message will automatically be placed in the base mailbox. Care should be taken in selecting which person or department is assigned to the base mailbox since callers will be automatically directed to it if they do not make another selection.

You can create up to eight (8) Sub-mailboxes using this feature. Enter the password and the single-digit sub-mailbox number of the mailbox you wish to access. Press 0 to access the base mailbox. When someone calls your telephone and the line is busy or no one can answer, they will hear the personalized greeting that you have recorded in your base mailbox. This greeting should provide direction to your callers so they can leave a message directly in the sub-mailbox of the person or department they are trying to reach. For example: “Hello, you have reached ACME Enterprises. We are not able to take your call at the moment. To leave a message for Jim Smith, press 1. To leave a message for Sally Jones, press 2. To leave a message for Accounts Payable, press 3. For Mr. Johnson (base), press # or wait for the tone.” Some things to remember about Multiple Mailbox: The maximum storage allowed for your mailbox is shared across all mailboxes, the base plus all Individual mailboxes. Message Waiting (interrupted dial tone and/or light) will remain on until all new messages from all mailboxes are saved or deleted. Each sub-mailbox holder can set their own notification options to their own pager and/or cell phone. Mailbox-to-mailbox messages can be sent through the system to each sub-mailbox. Address the message using 11-digits. For example, use 20755512341 for sub-mailbox 1 of mailbox 2075551234. Messages addressed to the 10-digit mailbox number will be deposited in the base mailbox. 7 If you know what key to press, you can make your selection at any time. No need to wait for the system to finish speaking the prompts or menus. Once you are familiar with the system, use the Personal Profile to change your prompt level to Quick Prompts. When in the office or on the road, save time by setting up one of the Notification Options. No need to call until you have a message to retrieve. Use the autoplay feature under Message Preferences so your new messages will start playing as soon as you log into your mailbox. If you press no keys after hearing a message, the message will automatically be saved then the next message will play. When you will have limited time/access to voice mail, use the Extended Absence Greeting option to block callers from leaving a message. After a saved message expires, the next time you log into your mailbox you must take action on that messages before you can hear new messages or make any changes to your mailbox.
