The guest mailbox is designed as a simplified user mailbox intended for the hospitality market; guest mailboxes are typically associated with a guest room extension, whereas employees would typically be assigned a standard mailbox.

 

Like a standard mailbox, guest mailboxes can usually receive messages and offer both a new and saved message queue.  The user (guest) can log into the mailbox to retrieve messages and can listen to, save and delete them.

 

Unlike standard mailboxes, guest mailboxes:

Do not allow sending messages to other mailboxes
Do not provide personal distribution lists or archive folders
Do not allow message undeletion
Deny access to the automated attendant

 

The basic guest mailbox also disallows changing the password or recording a personal greeting, although those two features can be enabled in the class of service (and in fact, the manufacturer provides an extended stay class of service that has those options enabled).

 

One feature typically found in the guest mailbox but not the standard mailbox is the ability to schedule a wakeup call.

 

The basic guest subscriber menus include the following functions:

Review messages
Schedule wakeup calls

 

Note:  The wakeup call option may be disabled by the system administrator, in which case it will not appear in the subscriber menu.

 

The extended stay subscriber menus typically including these options:

Review messages
Schedule wakeup calls
Change mailbox options
