Potential Issue

 

Description

 

 

Deleted messages:

When users access messages stored on a Microsoft Exchange server both from a Microsoft Outlook

IMAP and MAPI

client and from Cisco Unity Connection, they may experience unexpected and confusing behavior

behavior

 

when deleting messages. The difference in behavior occurs when the Microsoft Outlook client is

 

 

configured to use MAPI, the Microsoft interface for connecting to Exchange, and stems from the

 

 

fact that MAPI and IMAP—the protocol used by Connection—use different mechanisms for

 

 

marking messages as deleted.

 

 

If you have users who access a Microsoft Exchange server by using Outlook (with MAPI) or

 

 

Outlook Web Access, and who also use Connection to manage messages on the same message store,

 

 

be sure to alert them to this behavior.

 

 

Deleted Messages—IMAP Behavior

 

 

When a user deletes a message from Microsoft Outlook, the message is moved from the Inbox to

 

 

the Deleted Items folder. At this point, Connection can no longer access the message, and will no

 

 

longer indicate that the message exists either as a new, saved, or deleted message.

 

 

Deleted Messages—MAPI Behavior

 

 

When a user deletes a message from Connection, the message remains in the Inbox but is flagged

 

 

to indicate that it has been marked deleted by the user. However, when configured to use MAPI,

 

 

Microsoft Outlook does not recognize this flag as a deletion, and will continue to display the

 

 

message as a new or saved message in the Inbox.

 

 

Directory listing: users

When users do not have a recorded name, they are not listed in the phone directory and as a result,

are not listed as

 

outside callers are not be able to find them when searching for them by name. By default,

expected

 

Cisco Unity Connection prompts users to record a name during first-time enrollment, but it does

 

 

not prevent them from completing the enrollment process if they do not.

 

 

To address this issue, consider the following options:

You can change whether recording a name is required to complete first-time enrollment on the System Settings > Advanced > Conversations page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

You can provide recorded names for users in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

Users with class of service rights can record their own names by using the Connection conversation or the Cisco Unity Assistant.

Note This problem does not occur for internal users, but only for outside callers; Cisco Unity Connection users who address messages by name will still be able to find other users even if they have not recorded a voice name.
