ENHANCED VOICEMAIL PROCESSING

Aspects of the present invention are generally directed to providing convenient access to contextual information related to one or more voicemail messages. In this regard, a user interface that presents contextual information related to a user's voicemail messages is implemented on an IP phone. The user interface is configured to receive contextual information from a remote device that manages the user's voicemail box. Based on contextual information displayed, input to navigate between the one or more voicemail messages may be received. For example, a user may selectively identify voicemail messages represented on the user interface that will be played. Moreover, a user may generate commands from the user interface for navigating between the voicemail messages.
