asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Access comedian mail from imap client

Hello:

  We offer several options for accessing Comedian mail via Asterisk
and IP phones.  We'd like to add one more. We would like to be
able to save a message on the Asterisk server in such a way that it
can be retrieved using the telephone set and Comedian mail as it is
today and/or via an IMAP client. If accessed via am IMAP client
we would like to use an "externotify script" to manage the mwi lamp.
(we turn the lamp on and off in our current offering)

   I'm unclear on the requirements between Comedian mail and the
spool directory where it looks for managing messages. Has anyone
implemented voicemail in this way? If so could you share some
thoughts on how the integration is accomplished?

Thanks

There are discussions currently going about modifying the voicemail 
system to use an abstracted storage layer that would allow for this sort 
of thing to be easily done.

If you are interested in helping (with code or sponsorship) email me 
off-list and we'll get you into the conversation :-)
