In a sense, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange can treat voice mail as just another form of e-mail, delivering messages to the Inbox. Unless otherwise noted, these add-ins do not work with Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode. They may not work with Outlook 2010 64-bit.
Personal Voice Mail Services
These services use the modem on a desktop computer.
Whether or not you can receive voice mail directly on your PC is largely a factor of the type of modem you have. In general, you need a modem that supports the full Unimodem V standard. Many such modems come with their own standalone voice mail program that doesn't integrate with Outlook.
Tools

Enterprise Voice Mail Systems

They either integrate directly with the Exchange Server, which means little or no change to the client is required, or use a separate service in the Exchange/Outlook profile to make the connection to a voice mail server. This is by no means a complete list of those available. Some of them include client Caller ID support, fax support, SMS, etc.
