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, 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 area, 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 in 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
