E-Mail Reader
You can use E-Mail Reader to listen to e-mail messages and fax message envelopes from
your mailbox
5
. E-Mail Reader uses Text-to-Speech (TTS) to convert e-mail text into an
audio file. After you listen to your message, you have the same options to save, forward,
delete, and so on, as in voice mail.
When you reply to an e-mail message, you are prompted to record a message. Your reply
is then sent as an audio file attachment in an e-mail to the receiver. If the e-mail has
multiple recipients, you have the option of replying to just the sender or to all of the
recipients. When you forward an e-mail message, the e-mail is converted to a fax and
forwarded to the fax destination number you specify.
E-Mail Reader does not distinguish between e-mail messages and meeting invitations and
responses. Therefore, e-mail messages and meeting messages (including invitations,
cancellations, and responses) can be accessed from your mailbox.
Entering Your E-Mail Password
You may be prompted to enter your E-Mail Reader account password (usually your network
password) whenever you or your voice mail administrator set up your e-mail account
mailbox or change your e-mail password.
Use the following tips when entering your e-mail password:
• Do not use Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). To prevent others from overhearing
your password, use the dialpad buttons on your handset to set up your e-mail
password.
• Enter password characters correctly. E-mail passwords are case-sensitive and can
contain special characters. Your entry must exactly match the case and characters. If
necessary, contact your voice mail administrator for assistance.
5. This feature may or may not be enabled for your system.
NOTES
You cannot forward an e-mail message to a voice mailbox or group list. When
you forward an e-mail message, the e-mail is converted to a fax and forwarded
to the fax destination number that you specify.
If an e-mail message includes a hyperlink, E-Mail Reader reads the hyperlink
as text.
