asterisk users - Jun 2004 - catch when no voicemail configured

I would like to be able to send calls to voicemail() but then catch the 
case where this is no VM configured on the extension and then go back 
to another menu.  However, VoiceMail() will return a -1 and then 
hangup.  I would like to trap it somehow.

Is that possible?

You can call the MailboxExists application before hand to check to see if
the box exists.

if the specified voice mailbox exists.
