Considerations for Creating Mailboxes

Remember the following as you create mailboxes:

■You can create a combined total of 100 Call Answer Service, Bulletin Board, and Automated Attendant mailboxes. To avoid call traffic problems, however, the following maximums are recommended: 60 for a six-port system, 40 for a four-port system, and 20 for a two-port system.

■You can create up to 58 Transfer-Only mailboxes, in addition to the 100 mailboxes cited above.

■Only mailboxes 10 through 57, 71 through 74, and 771 through 776 can have a Transfer-Permitted Class of Service.

■Class of Service 18 should be used only for special situations, such as dictation where a long message needs to be recorded.

■Before you can change the System Administrator’s mailbox from the factory setting to another mailbox, you must first create the other mailbox.

For more information, see Mailbox in Chapter 5.
