The first three problems were apparently due to a database  
connectivity problem. Earlier, I had set up an Asterisk database in  
postgresql and configured  cdr_pgsql.conf, but neglected to do the  
same for res_pgsql.conf. Once that was taken care of, this voicemail  
weirdness disappeared.

The fourth problem has to do with MWI and the SIP phone I'm using.
