[asterisk-users] Recommendations for IMAP Voicemail

[Tech Support]

Hey;

    It seems to me that for what you want to do, it would be easier just to email the user the voicemail audio file as an attachment. I believe that when you choose to store voicemails using IMAP, it applies to all of your users which may not be what you want to do.

Regards;

John

Subject: [asterisk-users] Recommendations for IMAP Voicemail

 

Hello,

I'm currently studying what is needed to implement IMAP Voicemail with Asterisk 11 and up.

More precisely, I would like to let users check voicemail with their smartphone from outside (ie not connected to LAN).

My first questions are:

1. What happens if Asterisk cannot reach its configured IMAP store ? Are voicemails locally stored in a persistent directory surviving reboots or are they lost for ever ? Are voicemails saved back to the IMAP store whenever the IMAP store is back online ?

2. From personal experience, would you rate an IMAP migration as an easy or as a difficult task ?

By IMAP migration, I mean changing from one IMAP software to another, on the same or on an other box.

 

Regards
