Preferred medium

Joined mailboxes

The message medium you want to get first when you access messages. Thus, if you specify faxes as your preferred medium, you get all new faxes before any new voice messages, e-mail messages, or binary files. You also get all old faxes before any old messages in other media.

The preferred medium you set also applies to multimedia messages whose primary medium matches the one you set. For example, say that a new voice/fax/e-mail message arrives in your mailbox. If your preferred medium is fax and most of this new message consists of a fax, you will get the message before any other voice, fax, or binary file messages.

An e-mail mailbox and AUDIX mailbox that logically share messages and/or message headers. The messages and/or headers in one mailbox are either copied or transferred to the other mailbox. Action taken on a message in one mailbox typically affects the status of the same message in the other mailbox.
