利用一致的界面来接收电子邮件、传真及电话留言,使生活不再慌乱。 根据民意调查组织的统计,在一家大公司中,平均每个员工每天会收到178封的信件。而且,通过多个电子邮件帐号、传真机、语音邮件系统和呼叫器接收信息也很普及,因此,您收到的信息数量很有可能超过这个平均值。 对那些饱受来自各方信息干扰的人而言,万用收件箱无疑是一种救命仙丹。万用收件箱通常是架构在电子邮件用户端的一种单一使用者界面软件,这个软件能将来自各方的所有信息显示出来。这些信息包括电子邮件、语音邮件、传真(那种来自传真服务器并且以电子邮件方式接收的传真资料)以及其它种类的文件。利用万用收件箱界面,使用者能够读取、删除或者储存每一种类型的信息(您可以利用电话或多媒体电脑播放的方式来“读取”语音邮件)。虽然外送信息不是收件箱应具备的功能,但无可避免地,这个使用者界面也应该包含信息传递的能力。
Use a consistent interface to receive e-mails, faxes, and phone messages to keep your life from panicking. According to pollsters, on average every employee receives 178 letters per day in a large company. Also, receiving information through multiple email accounts, fax machines, voicemail systems, and pagers is also common, so the amount of information you receive is likely to exceed this average. For those who suffer from the interference of all parties in terms of information, universal inbox is undoubtedly a lifesaver. The universal inbox is usually a single user interface software built into the email client that shows all the information from all parties. This information includes e-mail, voice mail, faxes (fax messages that come from fax servers and are received by e-mail), and other kinds of files. With the universal inbox interface, users can read, delete or store every type of information (you can “read” voice mail using your phone or multimedia computer). Although sending information is not a function that an inbox should have, it is inevitable that this user interface should also include the ability to deliver information.
