[asterisk-users] pollmailboxes

[Philipp Kempgen]

1.6 UPGRADE.txt:
> * If you use any interface for modifying voicemail aside from the built in
>   dialplan applications, then the option "pollmailboxes" *must* be set in
>   voicemail.conf for message waiting indication (MWI) to work properly.  This
>   is because Voicemail notification is now event based instead of polling
>   based.  The channel drivers are no longer responsible for constantly manually
>   checking mailboxes for changes so that they can send MWI information to users.
>   Examples of situations that would require this option are web interfaces to
>   voicemail or an email client in the case of using IMAP storage.

I vote for a truly event based solution:

- A web GUI modifies a mailbox (e.g. deletes a message)
- The GUI triggers the polling of this specific mailbox

Action: PollMailbox
Mailbox: 1234
...

or

Action: MailboxModifiedExternally
Context: default
Mailbox: 1234
Folder: Work
File: msg0002
...
