Check to see if Voicemail mailbox exists

[Description]

mailbox exists. If no voicemail context is specified, the 'default' context
will be used.
   This application will set the following channel variable upon completion:
     VMBOXEXISTSSTATUS - This will contain the status of the execution 
of the
                         MailboxExists application. Possible values include:
                         SUCCESS | FAILED

   Options:
     j - Jump to priority n+101 if the mailbox is found.
