Has anyone looked at using the sipdev.org stuff for this? It would be *perfect* for building a voicemail platform on and you could access it from within your dial plan as a SIP Voicemail server.
Sure, it isn't integrated into asterisk, but from my experience the sipdev.org application server (rapidflex) has far more power than Asterisk & AGI together. It's free for non-commercial use, might be worth looking at if anyone is thinking about doing a new voicemail system. All of that said, if anyone is serious about writing a new VM platform for Asterisk I'd love to help. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Donovan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 25, 2007 2:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] replacing app_voicemail On 7/25/07, Simon P.

That would be really cool. Then, if you wanted to do something somewhere else in the dialplan that integrated with the IMAP repository, (like tel a calling card user that they have N messages waiting when they dial in for access) you'd have the benefit of those functions and of some programming examples as to how they were used in the Dialplan voicemail.
