I would like to reopen this ticket because using priority jumping is not the right way going forward (actually, priority jumping was one of the most horrible mistakes EVER in Asterisk).

Instead of adding the j option, you can check the VMBOXEXISTSSTATUS channel variable. 

VMBOXEXISTSSTATUS - This will contain the status of the execution of the
                    MailboxExists application. Possible values include:
                    SUCCESS | FAILED

That way, you won't have to use a 101 priority...

well I never liked priority jumping either - although it probably is more efficient then yet another check...

If you want to supply a patch and test it out using the exit status channel variable, I'll be glad to take a look at it. So ... feel free to reopen the bug with that patch attached, otherwise for now I'm going to re-close it since it does work per the asterisk 'spec' and there are too many other things that need attention to chase this one. (But like I said, you are welcome to toss it together and resubmit the patch).
