We have a problem, in that we're rapidly outgrowing the current
voicemail.conf format.  I don't think we can even set all the mailbox
options right now for a single mailbox (given lack of space in a
char[80]).  We probably need to revise the format to something more in
line with sip.conf and iax.conf, whereby each user gets his own
context, and have several inheritable contexts.

[default]
type=division
serveremail=defaultco at test.com
; More division-wide defaults here

[other]
type=division
serveremail=othercompany at test.com

[1234]
type=mailbox
secret=5578
email=test at test.com
pager=testpager at test.com
division=default
format=wav|gsm
attach=yes

[1235]
type=mailbox
secret=7934
email=another at test.com
division=other
format=wav49
attach=no

It's probably just about time to start prototyping Voicemail3.
