Configurable?  It's very configurable.  You can customize your name,
unavailable message, and busy message and change your password all
without having to resort to the command line.  In a configuration file,
you can customize whether you receive emails and/or pages when you
receive a message.  You can customize the format of the message that
gets sent to you when you receive a voicemail.  You can even change
the format of the datetime stamp that tells you when your message was
received.

This differs only from other voicemail systems in that you can.  Most
systems out there are not configurable in this way at all.
