Accessing Mailbox Options
You can customize mailbox options. For example, you can change a
mailbox extension, assign or change passwords, specify a length and
number of messages. To customize your mailbox:

□ Right-click on the mailbox and select Options...
Mailbox Passwords
You can assign passwords to protect against unauthorized access to your
mailbox. Local passwords prevent access to your mailbox from your
computer; remote passwords prevent access to your mailbox from a
remote telephone.
Keep the following in mind when working with passwords:
Ü Remote passwords must be numeric and four-digits long. Remote
passwords cannot begin with a 0 (zero).
□ Local passwords can be any letters, symbols or numbers, and up to
eight characters long. Local passwords are case sensitive.
□ You can set different passwords for remote and local mailbox access.
□ Do not forget your local password. You will not be able to access the
mailbox from your computer if you forget its local password. If you
forget your local password, you must reinstall the Communication
Center using the Application Recovery CD (see “Using the
Application Recovery CDs” on page 117). Be sure to select the option
“I want to save my old information, but clear all passwords.” This
will preserve your messages.
□ If you forget your remote password, you can re-configure the mailbox
by running the Setup Wizard, and re-entering the remote password.
