SECTION 4 THE MESSAGE LIFE

CYCLE All messages are subject to the same retent io n (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 sp ec ia l 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, y ou must archiv e it. Each time you

listen to an old message, you must arc hive 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 Director y page.
