Voice Mail-Get Started

Begin sending, and receiving voice messages in your application.

Make sure that you have the required hardware and software for Cisco Unity Connection.
Visit the CUMI API Wiki to find documenation and examples for the CUMI API.
Try some basic GET operations to start exploring the API
- The root of the Cisco Unity Connection Messaging Interface (CUMI) API is the Mailbox resource that is associated with each user.
Doing a GET on the Mailbox returns properties of the mailbox
- GET /vmrest/mailbox
Doing a GET on the Folders returns the fixed list of folders:
- GET /vmrest/mailbox/folders
A Folder consists of a small set of properties (DisplayName and MessageCount) and a collection of Messages.
- Doing a GET on a Folder returns a small folder resource object and a reference to its list of Messages:
- ```
    <Folder>
    <DisplayName&g;t</DisplayName>
    <MessageCount></MessageCount>
    </Folder>
```

Doing a GET on <folder>/messages returns a message list:


    <Messages>
    <Message>
    ...
    </Message>
    <Message>
    ... 
    </Message>
    ...</Messages>
