I agree with John -- I've written tools that use IMAP for storage, and it's ideal in these circumstances. Messages that have been listened to over the phone would even be flagged as 'read' in your email client automatically, and the same follows for message you listened to in your email client. It's also trivial to move a message from one folder to another, have shared folders, and all sorts of useful stuff like that.
OK then, to combine the apparent benefits of IMAP with Jim's vision of a dialplan based VM system, maybe what we need is to IMAP enable the dialplan with a few functions. 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.
