[asterisk-users] Deleting OLD Voicemails

[Eric Wieling]

I believe one of the patches involved in fixing for The Great Voicemail Problem* about a year ago was to make voicemail automatically renumber the mailbox files if it saw a gap.

* from memory: The Great Voicemail Problem is a bug where if you received a new voicemail while listening to a message, the mailbox was not renumbered correctly when you deleted a message.

I did not understand. What do you mean with renumber all the messages?

		Can i delete like this:
		
		rm -rf /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/voicemailcontextcustomer/300/INBOX/*.*
		
		Is that ok? will this break something?
		


	that's ok
	no it shouldn't break anything.
	however if you're going to delete some of the messages. you have to
	renumber all the messages so that they are consecutive otherwise
	the voicemail application may give you grief.
	
	

		A little doubt here, once the user hears the voicemail using the phone, the
		message is automatically moved to Old folder, is that right?
		


	yes
