Re: [asterisk-users] Deleting voicemail by program
John, that is some serious script-fu! I does exactly what I was going to do
in perl. However, my initial testing indicates that asterisk will renumber
voicemail boxes to eliminate holes. But I'm still testing.
Thanks again,
Mike.

Or do I need to also renumber the remaining files? My approach in a situation like this would often be "try it and see". Leave yourself three voicemail messages, remove the middle one simply by deleting the files, and see what Asterisk makes of what's left behind: - does it report three messages but only play two? - does it report either two or three messages but can only play the first? - does it report two messages and play them without problem? - does it report two messages and fail to play anything? - does it report no messages? - does it have a problem when a fourth message gets left? None of the above behaviour is _necessarily_ transferrable to a future version of Asterisk, but at least it tells you what your current version does when you interfere with in this way..

Re: [asterisk-users] Deleting voicemail by program
The script included with Asterisk (messages-expire.pl) deletes older messages and then renumbers the rest of the messages. I guess you need to do the same.

Hi Mike, New AMI actions were recently added to app_voicemail to let you remotely manipulate a mailbox: https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/issues/181 Hope this helps.

[asterisk-users] Deleting voicemail by program
Hi all, I need to be able to delete a voicemail message using a program. Is is sufficient to simply delete the .wav and .txt files in the spool directory? Or do I need to also renumber the remaining files? For example, let say a given mailbox has 20 messages in it and I want to delete message number 5. Can I just delete the 2 files and expect that asterisk will renumber them? Or do I need to? Also, is the answer the same when I migrate to storing voicemails in a database? Thanks in advance.
