! Text subject creation
Subscribers using Modular Messaging Web Client can create a
text subject when composing a new message. A text subject
makes it easier for recipients to refer to the message when using a
GUI client or scanning via the TUI. Subscribers can create a
subject text when creating a message; subscribers cannot change
subject texts once messages have been sent or received.
Notes:
! For information on using Web Client, see the online Help system
provided with the application.

Messaging Web Client, see Modular Messaging Web Client
requirements on page B-15.
Standards-based clients with Modular Messaging—MSS
With the appropriate privacy settings, Modular Messaging subscribers
can use standards-based e-mail clients to receive, send, and manage
messages from a desktop PC.
Subscribers can access and deal with messages using a wide variety of
clients that support either of the IMAP4 or POP3 e-mail standards. Such
clients include Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and IBM
Lotus Notes.
Although most clients support both IMAP4 and POP3, some, such as
some versions of Microsoft Outlook, only support the older POP3
protocol. When using a standards-based client with Modular Messaging,
Avaya strongly recommends use of IMAP4. POP3 clients copy messages
from the subscriber’s mailbox and act on the local copy without
informing the server of status changes, for example whether a message
has been read or deleted.
Likewise, the local copy has no awareness of the message status on the
original message store. Thus, if a POP3 user pulls copies of their voice
messages into their e-mail client, and later uses the TUI to delete a
message from the message store, the local copy of the message in the
e-mail client will remain.
In contrast, IMAP4 clients act on the message stored on the server so
message status is synchronized with the actions of other clients such as
the TUI.
