Click on a mailbox to highlight it, then click on MODIFY.

NOTE: To change the first greeting that a caller hears, modify the Main mailbox.
In the Mailbox Edit screen, select RECORDED GREETING if you want callers to hear a recorded greeting using your voice or select TEXT TO SPEECH GREETING to have HAL say a text message as the greeting.
If "Recorded Greeting" is selected, click EDIT GREETING to record a greeting using your voice by speaking into a microphone connected to the computer.

If "Text to Speech Greeting" is selected, click in the field below that option and type the text that HAL will read. Click SPEAK GREETING to hear HAL read that text.
Click OK to save the changes and close the Mailbox Edit screen.
