asterisk users - Nov 2004 - configuring voicemail

Rodney,

thanks for your question. You don't actually have to configure voicemail
passwords per extension,
but per voicemail box. This is done in the config file 'voicemail.conf'.
Here you define each voicemail box number, an associated password and a name
(and potentially other
parameters). When asterisk starts it reads the voicemail.conf (this activates
the settings). Then a
user can access his/her voicemail from any device and specify the mailbox and
the password from
there. Asterisk comes with a voicemail application called 'commedian
mail' which offers many options.

This is just a small selection of links. There are more links on the voip-info
pages. I hope this helps!
