Here are a few things I would like to see .. 1. In addition to time/date stamps, store/read the caller id info with the voicemail messages. 2. Have the ability to configure the system to ignore and delete messages left by a caller that are 3 seconds or less (maybe make this configurable) Not sure but that would cut alot of hangup calls out of your voicemail box. I can't think of much more than that but those two features are handy. bkw

If you like, take a look at www.brad.scatter.net/vmail/patch.diff and search for "say_calling_party" and "Message envelope".> > 2.

You could search for "vm-tooshort".> > I can't think of much more than that but those two features are handy. > > bkw > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I added minlength (in seconds) and removesilent (yes/no) as [general] options, with 3 and yes as defaults, respectively. Brad
Will there be a way to delete messages from email. I love getting voicemail in wav to my email, but I hate having to delete them when I call in to get my messages. If we could add a link and have a cgi delete the messages that would be a nice time saver.

Actually, this is a much bigger task than you would imagine. I have not had time to complete an "Unified Messaging" component to voicemail, but I would see this as an admiral goal. Most modern voicemail systems have some kind of way to delete or mark the voicemail as read when the message is deleted or read from either telephone or e-mail. The biggest hurdle I have come across for this is how does the user enter their e-mail password into a place where asterisk can use it to log into a users mail box an actually use it as the sole repository for mail messages. I see the tasks that need to be completed are: A) abstract file storage and manipulation in voicemail2 to allow an "imap" or other type (sql?) of storage plug-in rather than dependency on a specific file system. B) an interface to allow the end user to _securly_ enter the username and password that will be used by asterisk to access the file store. It needs to be secure so that people who have integrated passwords like Exchange/AD aren't passing the keys to the kingdom over plain text. Just my 2 cents worth.
