You should expect this to massively break voice mailboxes.

Asterisk Voicemail requires that all messages are numbered sequentially 
starting at 0 (when using the filesystem, I don't know about RealTime or 
IMAP).  If there is a break in the sequence, such as would be the case 
if your script deletes a message in the middle, then you should expect 
things to break.  I think that higher numbered messages would simply not 
be accessible, but that is a guess.
