[asterisk-users] Incorrect voice mail format on transfer

I'm sorry - by the lab I meant the end points - it is the same server.

I was not aware that IMAP only stored one format.  If I change the
setting in voicemail.conf, do I still have to worry about the grievous
warning message about being sure to delete all messages not using that
format? I would think not but it's a dire enough message that I thought
I had better ask - John
