storage areas: the Operation History and the transaction databases. An administrator can generate
reports summarizing voice mail activity using the Reporting Tool.

Server Administrator. An administrator can enable maiboxes for voice mail and maintain voice
mail information for each Octel Unified Messenger subscriber.
