How would one implement a direct mailbox transfer using the macros? What I want to do is have the person who answers the call to be able to transfer the call directly into a persons unavailable mailbox. Thanks Sean Garland, MCP+I, A+ Siskiyou Technology Consultants
Actually, you just need to create an extension. Here's mine:
Exten => _*55.,1,Answer()
Exten => _*55.,2,Voicemail(${EXTEN:3})
Exten => _*55.,3,Hangup()
Transfer the party to *55#### (where #### is the mailbox to transfer into).
There may be more elegant ways to do this, but it works for me.

My extensions start with 7XXX
[ext-direct-to-vm]
exten => _67XXX,1,Wait(1)
exten =>
_67XXX,2,Playback(/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/voicemail/YOUR_CONTEXT_HERE/${EXT
EN:1}/greet)
exten => _67XXX,3,Voicemail2(${EXTEN:1}@YOUR_CONTEXT_HERE)
exten => _67XXX,4,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => _67XXX,5,Hangup
Transfer to 6 plus the extension and you get the name of the mailbox owner
and then it goes direct to his/her mailbox

What I want to do is have the person who answers the call to be able to
