[Asterisk-Users] Multiple mailbox on the same SIP extension

I'm wondering if there's a way it will show on the phone when there's a 
new message. Here's what I'm trying to do :

in my extensions.conf when someone call from a PSTN line on my TDM04B 
card they have a choice. When someone press 1 for sales then I have 3 
phones ringing at the same time. Each phone as already there own mailbox 
because if someone know there extension instead of pressing 1 they can 
enter there direct extension and then if they don't answer they are 
transfer to the voicemail of that extension. When someone press 1 all 
the 3 phones rings if no one answer then it transfer it to another 
voicemail not related to any of the phones let's call it sales main 
voicemail.

If someone leave a message on that voicemail there's no way (the way my 
things are setup currently) that the staff in sales will know there's a 
new message for them...

Currently on my Cisco IP phones 7960 when someone leave a message for a 
SIP extension it will light up on the phones and tell the user there's a 
new message on the server for them.

I'm wondering can I configure 2 mailbox on the same phone?

here's a sample of my extensions.conf :

exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,DigitTimeout(10)
exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout(20)
exten => s,4,Wait(1)
exten => s,5,Background(Intro_EN)
exten => 0,1,Dial(SIP/221,15)
exten => 0,2,Voicemail2(u221)
exten => 0,102,Voicemail2(b221)
exten => 0,103,Hangup
exten => 1,1,Dial(SIP/231&SIP/237&SIP/239,15)
exten => 1,2,Voicemail2(u7253)
exten => 1,102,Voicemail2(b7253)
exten => 1,103,Hangup
exten => t,1,Dial(SIP/221,15)
exten => t,2,Voicemail2(u221)
exten => t,102,Voicemail2(b221)
exten => t,103,Hangup


Here's a sample of one of my extension :

exten => 231,1,Dial(SIP/231,15)
exten => 231,2,Voicemail2(u231)
exten => 231,102,Voicemail2(b231)
exten => 231,103,Hangup


sample of sip.conf (with some info removed) :

[231]
type=friend
username=231
secret="not written for security purpose"
context="the context in extensions.conf"
callerid="removed for this post" <231>
qualify=1000
host=dynamic
canreinvite=no
mailbox=231@"the context in voicemail.conf for my mailbox"
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw

I haven't tried it yet but I have also another concern, since my 
extensions start with the number "2" if I add a choice that when someone 
press 2 it dial some SIP extensions will it take the 231 if I type it or 
it will say it as a 2 and forget the other digits?

Thanks

Martin
