The addition of IMAP storage in Asterisk 1.4 is a feature a lot of people are hoping to implement. It'd be really good to see support for this included in FreePBX

yup - when 1.4 specific work comes along, we can look at this.

Replying to p_lindheimer:

yup - when 1.4 specific work comes along, we can look at this.

All that needs to happen is to 1) have a page to set up the imap specific directives in voicemail.conf (this page would probably be a good place to put other voicemail customizations, like the format of the email messages) and 2) change the extension pages so that there is a place for imapuser and imappassword.

The imap configuration directives in voicemail.conf are:

imapserver=<name or IP address of IMAP mail server> imapport=<IMAP port, defaults to 143> imapflags=<IMAP flags, "novalidate-cert" for example> expungeonhangup=<yes or no> authuser=<username> authpassword=<password> pollmailboxes=<yes or no> pollfreq=<how often to poll mailboxes for MWI status in seconds>

The only hurdle at this point is figuring out if a particular asterisk binary has IMAP support compiled in or if it's flat files. I haven't been able to find a good way to tell, and the two storage options are currently mutually exclusive -- if IMAP is enabled it's system wide, and it disables the traditional voice mail store. If we can send a manager command then we can dynamically figure out which options to send, otherwise we just have to have a global option somewhere for the user to tell us if they're using IMAP or not.

Sorry, the directives didn't copy and paste very well: 

imapserver=<name or IP address of IMAP mail server>
imapport=<IMAP port, defaults to 143>
imapflags=<IMAP flags, "novalidate-cert" for example>
expungeonhangup=<yes or no>
authuser=<username>
authpassword=<password>
pollmailboxes=<yes or no>
pollfreq=<how often to poll mailboxes for MWI status in seconds>

  • confirmation set to Unreviewed.
  • version changed from SVN-HEAD to 2.5-branch.
  • milestone changed from 3.0 to 2.6.

Adding patches for the voicemail module and default config. This should be trivial to implement now. Username/password config is per user on their extension/user page, and the rest are configured globally in vm_general.inc.
