Privacy enforcement

Messaging enforces the following levels of privacy for messages that are retrieved by IMAP4 and POP3 clients:
  • Voice enforces privacy from the Telephone User Interface (TUI). If a caller marks a voice message as private, Messaging:
    • Blocks the recipient from using the TUI to forward the message.

    • Allows clients who respect voice mail privacy to retrieve the message.

    • Blocks clients who do not respect voice mail privacy from retrieving the message. Messaging replaces the blocked message with an informational message in the language that the user has selected in User Preferences.

  • Email requests that the recipient keep the message private. Recipients must enforce the privacy of the message. Messaging cannot enforce privacy rules on to clients who do not have the capability to mark messages private. Most clients do not restrict the forwarding of private messages. However, IMAP4 clients typically do not retrieve the .wav attachment of a private message.
