I was able to figure out my problem. I had to install a dovecot server  
purely for testing purposes and then the error changed slightly to the  
point where when I searched it I found the issue because someone else  
had this same problem.

Basically in the voicemail config "imapsecret=password" is incorrect  
it must be "imappassword=password". Very frustrating. If asterisk  
doesn't like imapsecret it should complain about it in the console/ 
logs rather than just failing with some cryptic message.


Should I file a bug report about this?
