Summary:                    Voicemail(103 at other,u)  does not allow voicemail
retrieval when x103 is in [other] in voicemail.conf
Description: 
copy of email sent to asterisk-users list...
william,
had this exact problem on 1.4.11 & 1.4.16.2...  three seperate pbx
installations

I specified the voicemail context to be [other] in voicemail.conf and
added my Voicemail(103 at other,u) in the extensions.conf and could not, for
the life of me, retrieve voicemail... 
moved the extensions to [default] in voicemail.conf... everything worked
fine even w/o changing the extensions.conf file..  now that you mention it,
I will submit a bug report.
thanks for the reminder!

exten => 103,n,Voicemail(103 at other,u)
exten => 201,n,Voicemail(201 at other,u)
exten => 202,n,Voicemail(202 at other,u)

works only if x103 is in [default] not if it is in [other]

[default]
103 => 1234,x103 User,david.cantera at IBSOneCall.com,6093043234 at atext.com

When I was new to Asterisk, I had a problem similar to this. When you say
"retrieve" voicemail, I assume you mean via VoiceMailMain(), correct? I'm
guessing that after typing in the mailbox and password, you are being
denied access. There are two ways around this.

1) Call VoiceMailMain with the "other" context specified, i.e. 

exten => foo,1,VoiceMailMain(@other)

2) If you would rather have a catchall VoiceMailMain where you don't have
to specify a context, you can set searchcontexts=yes in the [general]
section of voicemail.conf.
