MerMail Message Length

[NastyNed2]

I tried a search and got close, but still have the following question:

In MerMail, what's the difference between "Maximum Message Length" and "Maximum Call Answering Message Length?"

I changed what I thought would be the right one, and suddenly callers could only leave a 1 minute message!! oops!

In Meridian Mail the "Maximum Message Length" field should have been named Maximum Greeting Length. This is for your personal greeting. Hi, I am away from my desk, please leave a message .....

The "Maximum Call Answering Message Length" is for callers to leave their message. This is the value that is usually too short by default.

I thought that Maximum Message Length equals the maximum length of a message that you could record if you were to compose a message in your mailbox to be sent (rather than calling a person and leaving a message).

I could be wrong though....

Maximum Message Length is used for both.
The Composed Message length for a message you compose and send from your mailbox and your Personal Greeting length.
