However, you can change the UM mailbox policy associated with the user's mailbox after the user has been enabled for Unified Messaging.

You create UM mailbox policies to apply a common set of policies or security settings to a collection of mailboxes of UM-enabled users. You can use UM mailbox policies to apply settings such as the following:

Note:
A default UM mailbox policy is created every time you create a UM dial plan. However, you can either delete the default UM mailbox policies or create additional UM mailbox policies based on the needs of your organization.
