InMail-Email NotificationDescriptionEmail Notification automatically sends an email notification when a Subscriber Mailbox receives a newmessage. The email can optionally include the recorded message as a .wav file attachment. To hearthe message, the email recipient double-clicks the .wav attachment to have the message play in theirwav player (such as Windows Media Player).Email Notification uses SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to deliver messages to the recipient’semail account. If the message recipient has a mobile telephone service provider with an SMS (ShortMessage Service) portal, they can optionally choose to have text messages delivered right to their cellphone. In either case, Email Notification does not provide synchronization – the email account and thevoice mailbox operate independently. For example, deleting the voice mail message does notautomatically delete the email and visa-versa.If Email Notification tries to deliver an email and it doesn’t go through because of a connectionproblem (i.e., no connection or a dropped connection), it will retry every 15 minutes for 24 hours. If theemail still can’t go through, Email Notification cancels the delivery. Email deliveries that fail becauseauthentication fails or the encryption mode is incorrect are immediately cancelled.Collecting the Email Notification DataIn order for the installation site’s InMail to send email notifications, it must have a valid SMTP emailaccount assigned.
