Voicemail messages are copied to both your voicemail box and Andrew email, except in cases where the department does not permit it. 

You can access voicemails from email, phone, Cisco Jabber, or Voicemail Manager. Messages are synchronized across these options, so deleting a message from any of these technologies deletes it across all.

We recommend using email to manage voicemails.

When you click the attachment in the email, the voicemail plays. As with any email and attachment, use caution when opening. Check the full email header before opening the message if you suspect a phishing attempt.

An email header, usually hidden, is a block of information about the message that includes the sender, the recipient, the date, sending and receiving time stamps, and the servers that handle the transfer of the message.

Follow these steps to view and check an email header for the most commonly used email clients.

1. Visit the Information Security Office and follow the instructions to view the full header for your email.
2. In the email header window, search for these exact terms: Received or Received-from. The email may be a phishing message if you find one or both terms in the header. Do not open the attached voicemail. Instead, do one of the following:
   • Listen to the message from your CMU phone, from another phone, or from Cisco Jabber.
   • Or verify that the message is in your Voicemail Manager Inbox and then listen to it online. If the message is not in your Inbox, follow the steps to report a phishing attempt to the Information Security Office.
