Bill H Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 The WIKI says that you can Share a Mailbox, but there is no provision on the MAILBOX Page to do it. Was it discontinued or is there a newer method? Basically we need to have a single mailbox (General Delivery) that can be accessed by a number of extensions. It would also be nice if they could get a Message Waiting Indication too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That works; however has the "disadvantage" that probably all SIP phones that I know are not able to subscribe to this MWI in a non-random way. Therefore we have to change this behavior on version 4 and really copy the message into all mailboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that I looked everywhere and could not find it. Can you tell me where it is???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW S7 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 We've tried a work around with the General Mailbox Delivery. For a domain that's using Polycom handsets. We auto provisioned the accounts out initially, and after the phones registered up and fully booted we manually registered the "Line 2" of each phone to an Account with no call routing and only acts a voice mail box. We allowed the account to have multiple registrations and it sends the MWI out to the handset since they are tied to the account. This has seemed to work out so far except when they try to make an additional call sometimes they activate the "Line 2" or voice mail account instead of their own account.
