There is no specific developer working on it, and discussions about development should stay on this list, since this is an open source project and we want the whole community to be involved.

This will not happen. The IMAP storage code uses a single connection to the server so that it can access any mailboxes that it needs to access; there is no support for storing authentication credentials for each voicemail mailbox. Nearly every IMAP server supports /authuser= now, you should consider using one that is more up-to-date.

Patches are welcome.

That is an extremely old version of c-client; the code was developed against imap-2004g, and has also been tested against what will be come imap-2006.

The current structure of app_voicemail will not allow for this.
