Synchronization
I'm not a programmer - but it sounds to me like you are all
making it to hard by transfer the voice files around etc. unless you
really have to have the messages stored in the mail server for some reason.
here is what I would picture
a outlook plugin that creates the illusion of several folders
{clip}
This is good, but just the configuration management process quickly becomes unrealistic for
a larger office deployment of, say, 250+ clients.
First time opening outlook after install it could pop up a dialog asking
the user for thier phone extension.
but yes - I wasn't think of a very large organization when I thought of
this - more like the 15 - 50 user size.
Similarly, a larger organisaion running Exchange presumably has also architected their hardware for it and would get better value from consolidating storage in that hardware - consider someone running an Exchange Server cluster with a SAN behind it...
Perhaps there really is a need for two tiers of solutions here - the large
scale Mailserver-as-backend-for-Asterisk concept presented earlier today by
Craig Guy and then a more generic Asterisk-as-backend-for-mail clients using
IMAP, some other mail protocol or even a per-mail client custom plug-in as
you've suggested.
