Summary:                    [patch] per-mailbox imapfolder option
Description: 
[ Link Removed - See Notes ]

I recently switched from file system to IMAP voicemail storage and it
worked great for most users. Mostly I have a typical IMAP setup, so the
defaults worked. I just set in voicemail.conf:

authuser=administrator
authpassword=password

- then added "imapuser" to each mailbox:

[...]
6005 => 1234,Jack Bates,ms419 at freezone.co.uk,,imapuser=jbates
[...]

One challenge was my general delivery mailbox, which I wanted stored in a
shared IMAP mailbox. I tried to configure that as follows:

6000 =>
1234,House,house at campcoop.com,,imapfolder=shared.house|imapuser=administrator

- but I got these errors:

[Jan  4 15:23:32] ERROR[3270] app_voicemail_imap.c: Error while sending
the mess
age to
{localhost:143/imap/authuser=administrator/user=administrator}INBOX

As I discovered, this was because Asterisk tried to store in the
administrator user's INBOX, and my administrator user does not have an IMAP
mailbox. In fact I wanted the message stored in the "shared.house" shared
mailbox.

After a look at app_voicemail.c, I realized my problem was that
"imapfolder" is a per-context option, not a per-mailbox option. However I
want to set "imapfolder" for only one mailbox - the default, "INBOX", works
otherwise.

So I created the linked patch to make "imapfolder" a per-mailbox option.
Now the general delivery mailbox successfully stores messages in
{localhost:143/imap/authuser=administrator/user=administrator}shared.house

To create this patch, I basically copied the code for "imapuser", which is
a per-mailbox option, for "imapfolder"

Closing due to lack of response from the reporter. Is a shame too, because
this feature could have been pretty useful.

Please reopen the issue if you have the ability to move this issue
forward. Thanks!
