These configurations include determining how many voicemails can be stored in a mailbox, the maximum message duration, how long voicemails are stored before they’re deleted, enabling email notifications, and voicemail forwarding.
You can create profiles that set retention limits of 1 to 100 days or use No Limits to set voicemails not to expire.
