[Asterisk-Users] VoiceMail2 Wish List

[Benjamin Miller]

Actually, this is a much bigger task than you would imagine.

I have not had time to complete an "Unified Messaging" component to
voicemail, but I would see this as an admiral goal.  Most modern
voicemail systems have some kind of way to delete or mark the voicemail
as read when the message is deleted or read from either telephone or
e-mail.
The biggest hurdle I have come across for this is how does the user
enter their e-mail password into a place where asterisk can use it to
log into a users mail box an actually use it as the sole repository for
mail messages.  

I see the tasks that need to be completed are:
A) abstract file storage and manipulation in voicemail2 to allow an
"imap" or other type (sql?) of storage plug-in rather than dependency on
a specific file system.
B) an interface to allow the end user to _securly_ enter the username
and password that will be used by asterisk to access the file store.  It
needs to be secure so that people who have integrated passwords like
Exchange/AD aren't passing the keys to the kingdom over plain text.

Just my 2 cents worth.
Ben

Will there be a way to delete messages from email.  I love getting
voicemail in wav to my email, but I hate having to delete them when I
call in to get my messages.  If we could add a link and have a cgi
delete the messages that would be a nice time saver. TL

Yeah, I suppose it should. I added minlength (in seconds) and
removesilent
(yes/no) as [general] options, with 3 and yes as defaults, respectively.
