>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Applications/app_voicemail, Applications/app_voicemail/IMAP
>    Affects Versions: 15.0.0-rc1, 15.0.0, 15.1.0, 15.1.1, 15.1.2, 15.1.3, 15.1.4, 15.1.5, 15.2.0, 15.2.1

> Currently, the voicemail applications hang up the call if the specified mailbox does not exist. While there are dialplan functions to test for the existence of a mailbox, I suggest that said applications be modified to just set a dialplan variable and continue execution of the dialplan. 
> This came up while I was performing testing of IMAP storage of voicemails for the company I work for. Part of testing was to test what happened if the IMAP server "went away". I placed a test call to an existing voicemailbox, but had killed the IMAP server that was providing storage. Asterisk reached the voicemail application and sure enough, it killed the call. 
> Again, I understand that dialplan functions could rectify this issue, but if the voicemail and voicemailmain applications would allow for non-existent mailboxes or the IMAP server going away, it would be an excellent safeguard addition. 
> ODBC storage of voicemail was not tested in regards to my above method used for IMAP.
