[asterisk-users] hammering imap vmail storage

[Brendan Martens]

I found this in the sample voicemail.conf:

;pollmailboxes=no    ;   If mailboxes are changed anywhere outside of  
app_voicemail,
;                    ; then this option must be enabled for MWI to  
work.  This
;                    ; enables polling mailboxes for changes.   
Normally, it will
;                    ; expect that changes are only made when someone  
called in
;                    ; to one of the voicemail applications.
;                    ;   Examples of situations that would require  
this option are
;                    ; web interfaces to voicemail or an email client  
in the case
;                    ; of using IMAP storage.
;
;pollfreq=30         ;   If the "pollmailboxes" option is enabled,  
this option
;                    ; sets the polling frequency.  The default is  
once every
;                    ; 30 seconds.


Maybe that will help?
