Abstract

A system for integrating electronic mail, voice mail and fax mail in a universal mailbox. Message receivers (36) may access their messages (12) with a telephone (24) or a computer (20) regardless of the communication medium used by the message sender (34). Using a telephone (24), message receivers (36) may playback voice mail, redirect fax mail, and "listen" to e-mail through a text-to-speech conversion process. Using a computer and modem (20), message receivers (36) may playback voice mail, view fax mail, and read e-mail by accessing the universal mailbox via connection software. Message senders (34) and receivers (36) may choose from a variety of filter and forward options that allow them to manage their communications via the universal mailbox. Forwarding and conversion of messages is performed automatically. The options define a set of rules to be applied to inbound and outbound messages so that messages are sent and received in accordance with the preferences of the senders (34) and receivers (36).
