 Model 8520 User Guide

When E-Mail Reader has been enabled for your mailbox, you have the advanced
mailbox. The advanced mailbox unifies your local voice mail messages and your
remote fax and e-mail messages in one convenient location. E-mail Reader uses Text-
to-Speech (TTS) capabilities to convert the text in an e-mail message to a .wav file.
If E-Mail Reader is enabled for your mailbox, you can access voice mail, e-mail, and
fax messages in your mailbox using your endpoint. 
When you access an e-mail message in your mailbox, E-Mail Reader first announces
your e-mail according to the envelope options that you set (see 

). Then, after

the envelope is played, E-Mail Reader reads the text in the body of the message. Once
you have listened to your e-mail, you can access additional options to reply, forward,
save, or delete the message (see 

).

When you access a fax message, E-Mail Reader announces the fax envelope accord-
ing to the envelope options that you set (see 

). Because a fax message is

received by your e-mail account as an attachment to an e-mail message in the form of
a .tif file, E-Mail Reader cannot read the text in the body of the fax. To view the
fax and read it, you must access it from your e-mail account. With your advanced
mailbox you can save, delete, and forward a fax (to another fax machine) using the
available menu options, when prompted (see 

).
