[asterisk-users] Recommendations for IMAP Voicemail

[Tech Support]

Hey;

What you may want to do is specify the “externnotify” option in voicemail.conf. If you set something like: 

 

externnotify=/full/path/to/imap-script

 

the script will run right after a voicemail is received so you won't have to worry about any time delays.  The command specified for externnotify is run with the arguments (in this order): context, extension, new voicemails, old voicemails and urgent voicemails. I tried it myself and it works fine for me.

Regards;

John

I'd be tempted to have a script, invoked by cron, to trawl through /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/ and IMAP-ify messages just for those users who need that functionality. 

 

The nature of voicemail is such that it doesn't matter too much in the great scheme of things if the recipient winds up getting it a little bit late.
