Since there's already a dedicated function for testing if a mailbox exists, I wouldn't duplicate it here.  Also, if you get some time, it'd be great if this had a unit test associated with it - see the test_voicemail_msgcount unit test for an example of this (although I imagine a test for VM_INFO could be a bit less involved).  You could certainly submit that as a separate patch if you'd like.  Overall, looks like this would be a useful addition to get user information from the dialplan.

May I add that you have 'mailbox_folder', 'mbox' and 'mbxfolder' variables. I suggest you choose one name for 'mailbox' and stick with it.

The language, tz (timezone) and locale attributes might be worthy to add, although I don't have a strong opinion about that.

As far as the exists check, I second removing it. Having more ways than one to do things should be restricted to the perl language ;)
