[Asterisk-Users] Message light on 7960 or in this case no message light

[Nathan Alberti]

Ensure you have "mailbox=xxxx" in sip.conf, you must also make sure in 
voicemail.conf the mailbox declarations are under the [default] context. 
If this is not the case you need to specify the context.

i.e.

#########
voicemail.conf
#########
[admin]
4060 => 4060,fred,fred at fred.com
[sales]
4061 => 4061,Sales Team,sales at sales.,,delete=yes


#####
sip.conf
#####

[4060]
..
mailbox=4060 at admin


[4061]
..
mailbox=4061 at sales
