Indeed. But if I only had the one * server which itself registered to

Yeah. Given this is a home office phone though, that I even route the
house calls to it is just a convenience for when I am in the home
office. IOW, if I'm in the office, I almost always want to answer it
vs. if I am at a personal/house phone, indeed, I may not want to answer
business calls, but this is not the case...

Ahhh. Indeed.
This use case is worth considering. Although, really, I want to migrate
to VM in IMAP so that I don't even (have to) use the phone to know there
is VM or listen to/delete it. I would use my e-mail client which is my
preferred interface.

I have never been convinced that VM via email is a convenence. You
have to use the loudspeakers on the PC or headphones, which is not as
convenient as a handset. Not to mention the privacy issues/problems
using loudspeakers for VM. Do you want your kids/wife overhearing your
customer that is upset with you?<br>
<br>
I find that the email notification is more than enough to know who
called and many times why without listening to the actual message and
deciding how urgent it is to listen to the message or deal with it.<br>

<pre wrap="">In any case, this one is an interesting benefit.
Not sure I'm convinced enough yet though. That said, thanks for the
input Lyle, I really appreciate your thoughts on that.
