Hello, I'm currently studying what is needed to implement IMAP Voicemail with Asterisk 11 and up. More precisely, I would like to let users check voicemail with their smartphone from outside (ie not connected to LAN). My first questions are: 1. What happens if Asterisk cannot reach its configured IMAP store ? Are voicemails locally stored in a persistent directory surviving reboots or are they lost for ever ? Are voicemails saved back to the IMAP store whenever the IMAP store is back online ? 2. From personal experience, would you rate an IMAP migration as an easy or as a difficult task ? By IMAP migration, I mean changing from one IMAP software to another, on the same or on an other box. Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have used that to migrate from one server to another and it was pretty painless. It took a while to do but it does it a mail at a time so it is something you can run while everyone is using the system and then right at the end you just need to do a final sync while voicemail is disabled.
imapsync seems a very interesting tool. Thanks for sharing this. Now I'm still curious to learn if moving from local file storage to cloud IMAP storage is still resilient to short network outages (without IMAP replication).

Hey;
It seems to me that for what you want to do, it would be easier just to
email the user the voicemail audio file as an attachment. I believe that when
you choose to store voicemails using IMAP, it applies to all of your users which
may not be what you want to do.
Regards;
John

Subject: [asterisk-users] Recommendations for IMAP Voicemail
Hello,
I'm currently studying what is needed to implement IMAP Voicemail with
Asterisk 11 and up.
More precisely, I would like to let users check voicemail with their smartphone
from outside (ie not connected to LAN).
My first questions are:
1. What happens if Asterisk cannot reach its configured IMAP store ? Are
voicemails locally stored in a persistent directory surviving reboots or are
they lost for ever ? Are voicemails saved back to the IMAP store whenever the
IMAP store is back online ?
2. From personal experience, would you rate an IMAP migration as an easy or as a
difficult task ?
By IMAP migration, I mean changing from one IMAP software to another, on the
same or on an other box.
Regards

In the long run, is unified messaging still rated as useful ?

These days, voicemail storage type is still a compilation time option, that apply to all users. Maybe, those attending to Astricon Dev sessions could explain us if voicemail storage customization could be introduced in a future version.
