Manage lists & folders

In the normal configuration for QA mailboxes, every message you save is placed in a saved message queue that you can access by selecting the option to listen to saved messages.  However, some users may wish to separate their saved messages into different categories; the VMS supports this by providing the message archiving feature.

When message archiving is enabled for your mailbox, every time you save a message the system will ask you in which archive folder to store the message.  You can have up to nine archive folders (numbered 1 through 9), and you can record a folder name for each one. This feature is optional and must be enabled by your system administrator.

QA mailboxes do not support personal distribution lists, so the option to manage lists is not offered.

The flowchart below describes the menu options for managing archive folders.

Archive folders allow the subscriber to have up to nine different saved message folders instead of just one.

This feature must be enabled in the class of service by your system administrator (by default it is disabled).  If the feature is disabled, the folder maintenance option will not be available in your subscriber menu.

As shown in the flowchart, if you select this option, the system will prompt you for the folder number.  After you enter a number from 1 to 9, the system will give you the option to record a descriptive name.
