----------------------------------------------

Michael,
Thanks for following up on this. From looking at the source code yesterday I kind of figured this was the case.

If we can't rely on the msg_id to be a fixed value what purpose does it serve? Why was it added?

> We are getting ready to make the jump from v1.8 to v11.6-cert4. One of the new features (as listed in https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Upgrading+to+Asterisk+11) we were most excited for was the new unique msg_id column in the voicemessages table. The hope was that this would allow us to store additional information related to a message.
> However, it appears that the msg_id value changes whenever the message is moved to a different mailbox (i.e. moved from INBOX to Old).  Is this expected behavior or is it a bug?
