No, you can have 2 mailboxes for different times like this:
in extensions.conf:
exten => s,1,Voicemail(1111 at context&2222 at context,u); for day
exten => s,1,Voicemail(2222 at context,u);for night
in voicemail.conf:
1111 => 1111,User User,,,delete=yes
2222 => 2222,User User,,,delete=no
now you only have to check the voicemail for mailbox 2222
