Guys, UM seems interesting thing in Exchange 2007. However, how many of you know what is the terms and features in Exchange 2007?

Fax Receiving
If someone fax some documents to you, Exchange 2007 can recognise this and accept the fax. Lastly send to your inbox.

Exchange 2007 now picks up incoming calls for a user who does not be able to answer their phone in the office. It plays personal greetings, records voice messages; convert to e-mail and pass to the user's inbox!

Subscriber Access
This feature allows user to access thier Exchange mailboxes using a phone. Sometimes, called Outlook Voice Access. Exchange not only recognise DTMF (Dual tone multiple frequency) key press, but also voice commends! Imagine you are driving, and using a handsfree?

You can perform the following:
1) Listen to and forward voice messages
2) Listen to calendar info
3) Listen, forward and reply e-mails
4) Access, dial contacts
5) Accept or cancel meeting requests
6) Set a voice mail Out-of-Office message

Play on phone
Using Outlook 2007 and OWA 2007, you can play your voice mail on your internal phone rather from your computers. Privacy...
