[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail file permissions

[hugolivude]

Sorry, not following you at all.  Perhaps it's a lack of Linux knowledge.  

I understood that Asterisk puts voicemails in
var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/mailbox/###/INBOX.  Are you suggesting
that I could configure that to be a network drive on each user's
computer?  If so wouldn't that introduce all kinds of complications
like what to do when their computer is off?

Thanks for taking the time to respond though, most appreciated.
