Yes that's true but still, for users with an "intensive voicemail usage",
unified messaging is attractive.
In the long run, is unified messaging still rated as useful ? I honestly
don't know.

Yes.
These days, voicemail storage type is still a compilation time option, that
apply to all users.

Maybe, those attending to Astricon Dev sessions could explain us if
voicemail storage customization could be introduced in a future version.
