Read up on asterisk.conf (usually located at /etc/asterisk/). In 
particular, see astspooldir.

A casual peek of the 1.2 sources looks like both features (pbx_spool.c and 
app_voicemail.c) use astspooldir as the file path.

For changing the voicemail filenames, the 1.2 app_voicemail.c sources have 
this snippet:

static int make_file(char *dest, int len, char *dir, int num)
{
         return snprintf(dest, len, "%s/msg%04d", dir, num);
}

which means you will probably have to hack it up a bit.
