[asterisk-users] Changing voicemail.conf file format list

[Olivier]

Hi,

In voicemail.conf.sample, you can read this:

format=wav49|gsm|wav
; WARNING:
; If you change the list of formats that you record voicemail in
; when you have mailboxes that contain messages, you _MUST_ absolutely
; manually go through those mailboxes and convert/delete/add the
; the message files so that they appear to have been stored using
; your new format list. If you don't do this, very unpleasant
; things may happen to your users while they are retrieving and
; manipulating their voicemail.
;
; In other words: don't change the format list on a production system
; unless you are _VERY_  sure that you know what you are doing and are
; prepared for the consequences.



What does "manually go through those mailboxes and convert/delete/add the
; the message files so that they appear to have been stored using
; your new format list" exactly imply here ?
As this statement is written, it seems there is a trap too complex to detail
which surprises me a bit.
Comments ?

Regards
