THE MESSAGE LIFE
CYCLE	All messages are subject to the same retention (aging) pattern:
	New￿message ￿Old message ￿Archived message.
	New Messages
	New messages are those not yet heard or saved as new. After
	access, the system stores a message for a limited time as an old
	message. You can keep a new message as new by pressing * during
	playback. The next time you call, the system offers the message
	again as a new message.

After you open a message, the system sends a receipt to the sender, even if you save it as new (if the sender is set up for receipt summaries or return receipts). Also, after you open a message, the

￿sender cannot cancel it or change its special delivery options. Old Messages

An old message is one that you have heard but not archived. Old messages allow you to review recent messages. An old message is stored for a limited time, typically less than a day. If you want to store a message for a longer period, you must archive it. Each time you listen to an old message, you must archive it. Otherwise, the old message is deleted. An old message must be saved each time it is heard or it is deleted.

Old messages are stored for the number of days indicated in the Hold field on a subscriber Personal Directory page.
