As soon as the message placed in a queue/directory to be sent the VM system can assume it was delivered. Not much different than writing to a database.

It doesn't get much better! ;-) Personally, I would prefer email only VM. I am all over the place during the day and email is currently the one thing that follows me very easily. Deleting the voicemail off the VM server seems like a waste of time to me and a few of my customers also. It just seems like an easy thing to implement technically, much more so than trying to sync IMAP. -- Regards -------------------------------------- Gerald Drouillard Technology Architect Drouillard & Associates, Inc. http://www.Drouillard.biz _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
