asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Voicemail issues

I put my voicemail groups into different contexts so that I can use Dial 
by name and escape.
I had set ext 500 as
exten => 500,1,VoiceMailMain(${CALLERID(number)}@default|s)
but now that the contexts are different. this does not work

#1 how do I have everyone use an ext to get the voicemail regardless of 
context.
#2 can I get the mail buttons to work on my polycom 501s and swissphones
#3 where do I put the "i" ext to allow the caller to go from the 
voicemail back to a ext in the dialplan

Thanks
Jason

Jason if you have diffrent users in diffrent context's then you will have to
make a diffrent extension for the diffrent contexts that the voicemails are 
in. (unless there is a variable that will tell you the context of the phone 
connected to asterisk).
