Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) Synchronization
If IMAP4 is selected, the following occurs:
If a user logs into his/her voice mail via the TUI and deletes a message, Stratagy uses IMAP to 
identify and delete the message in the e-mail server. This also deletes the messages from the 
user’s e-mail client inbox screen if the messages were displayed on it at the time.
If a user logs into his/her voice mail via the TUI and listens to a message in the NEW folder, the 
corresponding message in the e-mail server or e-mail client inbox is flagged as “read” or 
“seen.” This includes messages that are marked by Stratagy as Pending and kept in the New 
Message folder. Messages marked as Deleted are not actually deleted until the user logs out 
from his or her UM-enabled mailbox.
If Stratagy voice messages are deleted in the e-mail client, the corresponding messages in the 
Stratagy system are deleted or saved to a Personal message folder of the user’s voice mailbox. 
Whether the message is deleted or moved to a Personal Folder is a configurable option within 
each mailbox. If the Message Transport Scheme field on the Mailbox Editor Unified Messaging 
Tab screen is set to IP Standard, this synchronization is performed periodically via the Stratagy 
Scheduler feature. If that field is set to SES Proprietary, the update is performed realtime.
Internet Protocol Integration
Stratagy ES sends voice messages to any e-mail service that supports the SMTP and POP3 Internet 
protocols. With this integration any e-mail client that supports SMTP/POP3 (e.g., Eudora Pro
Netscape Messenger) receives Stratagy ES voice messages as e-mail messages with audio (voice 
messages) file attachments. Though not as proficient as the Microsoft Outlook Integration, the 
Internet Protocol (IP) Integration provides limited Unified Messaging capabilities for users who 
want to use an e-mail client other than Microsoft Outlook. IMAP4 synchronization is also available 
using this method of Unified Messaging.
Message Disposition Notification (MDN)
Stratagy adds a Message Disposition Notification (MDN) request when it sends a voice message to 
the e-mail server. When the user opens up a voice message (sent by Stratagy), a MDN is sent to 
Stratagy voice mail. As soon as Stratagy receives the MDN, it deletes or saves the messages in the 
user’s mailbox. Whether the message is deleted or saved is a configurable option within each 
mailbox. Some e-mail servers may not support MDN protocol or may label it in some other manner. 
Check their documentation for Return Receipt operation across the Internet.
Text-To-Speech (TTS)
Note
See 
 for details on this feature.
TTS is the term for converting text to computer-generated speech output. It is used in applications 
where the customer either does not want to use the disk space or does not have the required disk 
space to record every necessary variable in a database. This is particularly effective for speaking
e-mail messages using the telephone user interface.
The TTS/Email Feature Group enables e-mail messages to be read back to users via the Telephone 
User Interface (TUI) and requires voice mail to be equipped with the UM Feature Group.
TTS/Email capabilities are delivered in a host-based configuration. The Media Application Server 
provides the processing power for TTS.
