Do you mean it is possible (in voicemail.conf) to specify how to look at the
message headers ?
Here (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+voicemail.conf), I can
see how to customize voicemail sending with mailcmd but how would you teach
Asterisk to read messages with specific header ?


Another set of questions :
3. Let's say you're browsing your incoming emails with your favorite email
client. You've got some voicemails among them but you don't want to disturb
your neighbours listing to them with your PC speakers. How would you forward
the voicemail audio files to your desktop phone ?
Calling your own voicemail is an obvious way to listen to those files but
I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it

4. I've never heard of email software (client or server) accessing an ODBC
storage. Does it exist or shall I understand that voicemail ODBC storage is
mainly here to ease custom web application development ?
