Why each option
Alternate extensions in Cisco Unity Connection allow multiple phone numbers or extensions to be associated with a single user mailbox, enabling voicemail from two lines to arrive in one place.
Cisco Unity Connection does not support assigning multiple independent mailboxes to a single user account - each user has one mailbox.
An alternate extension is a secondary directory number assigned to an existing Unity Connection user account. When a call to that extension goes unanswered, the system routes the voicemail to the same mailbox as the primary extension, satisfying the requirement of two lines feeding one inbox without creating additional accounts or mailboxes.
A shared mailbox is intended for group or departmental use where multiple users access the same mailbox, which does not match the single-user scenario described.
An interview handler presents callers with a series of recorded questions and records their responses; it is not a mechanism for routing extensions to a mailbox.
