2 extensions to 1 embedded voicemail box on 3300 7.1?

[BlackSunshine]

Is there a way to have 2 extensions go to one voicemail box on 3300 embedded voicemail? Thanks in advance

Here's one way.
If your mailbox is 5555 create an ACD path of *5555.
It must be set up for calls to queue to it for 1 second.
Then interflow to VM.
Then forward any phones you want to go into the 5555 mailbox to forward to the ACD path.

I believe there are a couple of other ways also but I've used this way a couple of times.

Sorry for bump of this old thread, but I am trying what you suggested above.

I have a ring group overflowing to an ACD Path, named the same as the VM box I'm trying to go to *XXXXX. After no answer of the Ring group it is transferred to the ACD path but instead of hitting the VM Box it hits the Auto Attendant. Any ideas?

Be sure the call ques to the ACD path for at least 1 second.
Then your mailbox must match the extension number of the ACD path.

I found another way to do this, which is actually longer but worth noting.
Ring Group Overflow to ACD Path - ACD Path Overflow to Nametag Hunt Group after .01 Seconds - Nametag Hunt Group set as Extension in VM box settings - Reroute Hunt Group 2/2/2/1/1

Ralph yours is obviously the shorter route, but both will work!

Thanks for the help!
