So don't waste your time on saving the voicemail on Asterisk. Save it on
a specific folder in an imap server on the user's home directory.

If you use a decent mail client, getting notifications for new mails in
that folders, deleting them, playing them, and whatever should be easy.

On the Asterisk side you only need to keep voicemail config in sync.
Maybe it would be easier to just forward every mailbox nnn to
nnn at localhost and use an aliases file to do the real forwarding. That
way you keep the emails away from Asterisk's config.

The downside: no message-waiting indicator.
