Hi list, After wrestling with the voicemail system for a while (Asterisk 1.4.14, Debian etch), I got it to work, but I still have lots of questions, like: * Why can't I delete any voicemail messages? (Response: "Message undeleted.") * Why can't I listen to the messages in the Old folder? * Why can't I use the advanced options? (Response: "I'm sorry, I did not understand your response.") * How come if I put "mailbox=1000 at rjs_voicemail" in my phone's context of sip.conf, do I get an error? (CLI: "...Remote host can't match request NOTIFY to call...") Unfortunately, none of the books and other documentation I've found on the subject goes into enough detail to provide answers to such questions. So, can anyone recommend some good Asterisk voicemail documentation that goes beyond merely scratching the surface? Cheers, Jaap

[asterisk-users] Need good voicemail documentation

You need to examine the CLI with sufficient verbosity, and ask for our help if you don't understand what's in there. These are all problems that would be VERY atypical to have with asterisk's voicemail. Moj

Earlier, I had set up an Asterisk database in postgresql and configured cdr_pgsql.conf, but neglected to do the same for res_pgsql.conf. Once that was taken care of, this voicemail weirdness disappeared. The fourth problem has to do with MWI and the SIP phone I'm using. Cheers, Jaap
