   -= Info about application 'VoiceMailMain' =-

[Synopsis]
Check Voicemail messages

[Description]
   VoiceMailMain([mailbox][@context][|options]): This application allows the
calling party to check voicemail messages. A specific mailbox, and optional
corresponding context, may be specified. If a mailbox is not provided, the
calling party will be prompted to enter one. If a context is not specified,
the 'default' context will be used.

   Options:
     p    - Consider the mailbox parameter as a prefix to the mailbox that
            is entered by the caller.
     g(#) - Use the specified amount of gain when recording a voicemail
            message. The units are whole-number decibels (dB).
     s    - Skip checking the passcode for the mailbox.
     a(#) - Skip folder prompt and go directly to folder specified.
            Defaults to INBOX
