Programming the General Mailbox Owners

PARTNER Messaging provides four General Mailboxes–one for each Automated Attendant. The General Mailbox extensions are 9991, 9992, 9993, and 9994.
You cannot delete these extensions or change their phone status. Automated
Attendant Service calls are directed to the Automated Attendant’s General
Mailbox when the Automated Attendant’s Dial 0/Timeout Action is set to record a message in the General Mailbox and:
• Caller does not make a selection from an Automated Attendant Service
Menu.
• Caller presses 0 while in Automated Attendant Service.
• Caller presses 0 while using the Directory to transfer.
The General Mailbox Owner is the extension whose Message Waiting Light is
turned on whenever a message is placed in the General Mailbox. The factory
setting for the General Mailbox Owner is extension 10. You can program a
different General Mailbox Owner for each General Mailbox, or you can have the
same owner for all the General Mailboxes.
