Voicemail allows the caller to leave voicemail.  Voicemailmain allows 
you to check your voicemail.

1.0.x Asterisk mailbox options were put as a prefix to the mailbox, such 
as Voicemail(u11) would play the unavailable message to the caller.

1.2 (I think) changed this to make it more like all the other 
applications, i.e., use a "," or "|" before the options.
