Setting the length of mailbox numbers

Before you begin

Ensure Messaging is running.

On the Administration menu, click Messaging > Server Settings (Storage) > Networked Servers.
On the Manage Networked Servers Web page, select the server and then click Edit the Selected Networked Server.
In the Mailbox Number Length field on the Edit Networked Machine Web page, enter a number that corresponds to the length of the mailbox extension used by your system.
This is the length of the long/global mailbox number.
In the MAILBOX NUMBER RANGES table, enter the prefix and the range of mailbox numbers for Messaging.
Enter a range of numbers that conforms to the number you selected in the Mailbox Number Length field.

For example, if you selected 5 from the list, then enter a 5–digit number. If you selected 8, then enter an 8–digit number.

Unless your organization has a specific reason for excluding some ranges, start with 1 (with the appropriate number of leading zeros), and end with the highest possible number.
The following example displays the range for a 5–digit mailbox number:
- Starting Mailbox Number: 00001
- Ending Mailbox Number: 99999
