Do you have an analysis of the code segment you mentioned that you can share on this issue?

Or, can you describe how to reproduce the issue with minimal configuration on a new asterisk installation?

> Not sure if this is actually a bug
> After migrating an (odbc-voicemail-backed) asterisk installation to a new server (installing asterisk on new server and moving config files, etc) I was testing things. I went into Directory() and I was unable to get anyone's name to play back, asterisk insisted on spelling everything out. I eventually discovered this is because nothing is attempting to create any directories in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/ - which is empty because it's a new server. I have to write a shell script to create a bunch of empty directories so that app_directory can playback names.
> This isn't an issue on the old server because when someone authenticates to a mailbox the directory structure is created
> afaict this affects everything in 13.x.x
> The workaround is good enough for my use case, I am reporting this only in case anyone better than I am with c code thinks it's a problem worth fixing
