15. Checking Old Messages
Unity categorizes messages as either NEW or OLD. Anything that has been listened to is categorized as “OLD.”
OLD messages are either “Saved” or “Deleted.” Unity treats deleted voice mail messages much like Groupwise treats deleted mail messages. When you delete a message it is moved to a “Deleted” folder in the voic system. If you do not mark a message with the “Save” or “Delete” function, Unity will automatically put the messages in the “Saved” category. Just as you can go and look at in the Groupwise trash, you can go and listen to messages that you’ve already told the system to delete.
