asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Subscribe/Notify MWI not working for non-numeric accounts w/X-Lite

ok this is a wired problem. when i use X-Lite - after i register with 
asterisk X-lite sends a subscribe/notify request to asterisk to 
determine if the account has any messages waiting.

if i create a sip.conf account using:

user 12345 with a voicemail box 12345 - MWI works

user jwolosuk with a voicemail box 12345 MWI fails (gets a 404 not found 
upon a subscribe)

does anyone have a clue why this doesn't work or what i need to set in 
order for this to work?

feedback is appreciated,

Huh, not sure.  Haven't used X-Lite in a long time, but maybe put a
regexten=12345 for user jwolosuk?

Do you have mailbox=12345 at your-voicemail-context under [jwolosuk] in 
your sip.conf?
