Hi,

Is there a way in Asterisk 11 to use a single voicemailbox for multiple extensions while still hearing each extension's individual greeting?

Use case: someone has 2 numbers and wants all voicemail messages for both numbers to end up in one mailbox. So when dialing 1234 and NOANSWER you would hear "the person at extension 1234 is unavailable" and the message would be stored in mailbox "mymailbox" and when dialing 6789 and NOANSWER you would hear "the person at extension 6789 is unavailable" and that message would also be stored in mailbox "mymailbox". The user then dials an extension to reach mymailbox and hears all messages for both the 1234 and 6789 numbers.

I think I can solve it by symlinking /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/6789/INBOX to /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/1234/INBOX (and the other directories too) but it would be nice if this could be done within the dialplan.

If that's not possible, would adding an "extension" option to app_voicemail.c solve this by decoupling the extension from the mailbox?

Thanks for any pointers.

Cheers,
Patrick
