[asterisk-users] IMAP and ODBC voicemail storage

[Andrew Joakimsen]

Russell:

I can't find any good documentation for IMAP vm storage. Our IMAP server
allows "master user" access if the login name is in the format of
masteruser:desireduser. Would this be compatable with the way Asterisk does
IMAP storage?


Regards,

Andrew
