Abstract

A user's personal greeting is accessed in a messaging system. An e-mail client reads a folder of a user's mailbox of the messaging system. An e-mail server of the messaging system associates the folder with a voice messaging application of the messaging system. In response to the reading of the folder, the e-mail server obtains a personal greeting of the user from the voice-messaging application and provides the obtained personal greeting to the client in a form of an e-mail message. In response to an e-mail client writing an e-mail message containing a personal greeting to the folder, the e-mail server retrieves the contained personal greeting from the written e-mail message and provides the retrieved personal greeting as the user's personal greeting to the voice-messaging application.
