Telephone Access

All message components can be manipulated from the telephone. The basic nature of the telephone interface remains the same, regardless of the component media type. Normally, messages are created, addressed, delivered, received, and replied to or forwarded. The following table shows how these actions are implemented when messages are accessed through the telephone.
