The cron job is a great idea for purging the files. However, what I
am looking for is when a user deletes the message, it gets moved into
a "Delete items" directory for lack of better terms. So the user has
X number of days before the message is purged to undelete it through
the voicemail menu. I am using the plain file system voicemail. Is
something like this supported with any of the voicemail modules?
