asterisk users - Jan 2011 - Show voicemail in GUI

Hello list,

I have a management user interface written in php for controlling some 
functions of Asterisk PBX.

I use realtime a lot.

Is there a way to easily get the details of a voicemail account and the 
messages that have been left ?

In use realtime voicemail, but how to get the messages that have been 
left for a certain mailbox-extension ?


Kind regards,
Jonas.

I will qualify my answer by saying that I don't mess with RealTime because I
have other more pressing issues than "nice" features of Asterisk. 
From what
I read, realtime controls the user information for voicemail, but the "nuts
and bolts" information you would need for this GUI interface is still going
to be in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default. To see the messages for user
100, I would do "ls /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/100/INBOX"
or "ls
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/100/INBOX/*.txt".  It is entirely
possible that Realtime actually puts this in a table, but I don't know.

You can see how many messages, Old and new are in any mailbox using the
AMI

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+manager+API

Then you can use the command

MailboxCount

to find out how many messages are in the mailbox
