I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but this may (or may not) 
help.

You mentioned looking up the email field from voicemail.conf, this should do 
that:

EXTEN=`echo $2 | cut -f 1 -d @`
EMAIL=`cat voicemail.conf | grep '^$EXTEN' | cut -d ',' -f 3`

The above ignores contexts so if you have more than one it will not work.
