Well, you could set up a separate IMAP server dedicated only to storing voicemail. I was going to do this when I found out Groupwise has a very watered down IMAP implementation that didn't support the necessary IMAP functions (we have since decided to ditch Novell altogether and run Exchange because they wanted an $11,000 raise for the same licensing as last year). Essentially one IMAP server would be used exclusively for sipX to deposit voicemail to.

GMail has IMAP access and I believe is known to work. Not sure about Yahoo.

Can you back up a step and clarify how this works?

Is the idea to set up a dedicated IMAP server for voicemail that we have our users configure their email clients to access in addition to any servers/accounts they already have for email?

Or are we having sipx authenticate with whatever existing IMAP servers are in use for email, and add voicemail messages to their existing email accounts?

I'm guessing it is the latter.

If so, this could be a challenge for me, because, while we do have an internal email server running exim, many of our users user external email services like Gmail and Yahoo.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Jeff

Doesn't appear that has made it to the wiki yet...Do this:

For whatever groups you want to set IMAP sync on:

    * Go to that group
    * Go to Unified Messaging
    * Set the IMAP server host, port, and TLS setting (the last one
      is optional)

Now, set up each user:

    * Go to the user you wish to set up IMAP sync for
    * Go to Unified Messaging
    * Set Voicemail notification to Syncronize with the IMAP Server
    * Enter users email address

Now that you have set those options, the user will be instructed via email to log in and set their IMAP credentials. Unfortunately the email notification is rather vague so end users will need to be instructed on how to set their IMAP credentials in their user portal.

Sorry guys, i may be a little slow on the uptake here, but
can you give me some brief instructions on what
configuration is needed on the SipX side to implement IMAP
(assuming it works!)

PS - the list of 'tested' IMAP servers sounds like a cool
idea!
