[Bill Riley]

Can you list some of the features that you lose with ViewMail for Outlook
versus Unity VMO.

I have Cisco ViewMail for Outlook 8.5(4) working with Outlook 2010 and Unity
7.  I've been told Cisco ViewMail for Outlook 8.5(5) will re-introduce VM
playback to a phone.  However it was made clear to me that Cisco ViewMail
for Outlook will not have feature parity with Unity VMO and I got the
impression that Unity VMO will not be further developed.  The feature
disparity is vast and disappointing if you used all Unity VMO has/had to
offer.

Do you still have Unity and using Exchange in meantime until you get
ViewMail working?

What version of Unity and ViewMail are you trying to use? Have been working
with VMO the past week for a client, ViewMail 8.0(3) will work with Unity
5.x, 7.x, 8.x and Outlook 2003/2007. There is a 8.0(4) version that fixes an
issue with playback over the phone and PC speaker if you have that issue,
but you'll need to get that from TAC.

There is also a new 8.5(4) version that adds Outlook 2010 support, but I
haven't been able to get it to work with Unity 7.x or 8.x yet as the
documentation states it should. Only option is Connection 8.5. I'm working
with Cisco on this now to see whats up with the 8.5.4 version
- if it is documentation issue or something else.

But getting back to using Exchange, as Matthew said..... maybe someone has a
Outlook plugin to record audio file and attach it to email your sending in
one step.

replacement for Cisco ViewMail? My installation of Unity no longer
cooperates with the ViewMail client and after hours of trying to fix it I've
simply given up. I can't afford SmartNet on Unity anyway, so I've switched
to using MS Exchange as my voicemail solution.

an outgoing voice message and then select multiple recipients from my Global
Address List. Without ViewMail I have to painstakingly navigate through an
IVR / auto-attendant to accomplish the same task.
