Mailbox Processing on the PC and the E-Mail Service

2Mailbox Processing on the PC and the E-Mail Service

This chapter describes the PC access to your HiPath Xpressions mailbox. Using your PC, HiPath Xpressions provides you with a standard access interface to your voice messages, fax messages and e-mails.

In principle, all e-mail clients that support IMAP4 access can be used.

HiPath Xpressions supports the older POP3 access mode. This access mode, however, is not recommended since it does not include mailbox synchronization when connected to the Lotus Domino or Microsoft Exchange server. PC access is described using the following e-mail clients:

HiPath Xpressions Communications Client (see the relevant user manual)

Netscape Messenger (see Section 2.2)

Microsoft Outlook Express (see Section 2.3)

Microsoft Outlook in Internet Mail Operation (see Section 2.4)

Microsoft Outlook in Internet Mail Operation in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server (see Section 2.5)

Lotus Notes (see Section 2.7)

HiPath Xpressions WebClient (see Section 2.8)

Client Assistant (see Section 2.9)

(access to fax and voice messages only, no e-mail access)

HiPath Xpressions extensions can be installed for Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. Outlook extensions comprise the following functions:

initiation of a telephone call to a contact

callback to the originator of a message

initiation of a telephone call from the Exchange address book

voice message playback on a telephone

voice message playback on a PC sound system

sending a short message (SMS) to a contact

transfer of a short message (SMS) to the originator of a message

transfer of a short message (SMS) to a mobile telephone from the address book

sending a fax message to a contact
