OK, let me get this straight. Because the Asterisk voicemail menu is fault tolerant and lets you undo a delete, it's therefore unacceptable. It sounds more like you're having a slight learning curve with getting up to speed on a new system. I'm not sure why you fault Asterisk for this, as every system out there is going to have a learning curve. As Steve Underwood pointed out elsewhere in this thread, there are no standards for voicemail applications, so every system is going to be different. Personally, I like the fact that I have to explicitly delete a message for it to get deleted and that if I delete a message accidently, I can undo that (and more importantly, the non-techies in the office can also do that). This is a feature, not a bug. -Tilghman _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
