Hi, We already added unified messaging support to cyrus IMAP. Almostly, we didn't modify anything in Cyrus IMAP. One thing that may change IMAP is that IMAP daemon may have to return UID of a message when appending a voice mail to a user's mailbox. It's very simple work.
VPIM support is your work rather than Cyrus IMAP. --------------- Tawan Won -----Original Message----- From: Cyrus Daboo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 3:08 AM To: Dave Caplinger; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: voicemail to IMAP (cyrus) gateway?

You might want to take a look at the VPIM (Voice Profile for Internet Mail) work at the IETF which is working on standards to help this type of behaviour: <http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/vpim-charter.html> There are a number of commercial vendors (not just MS and Lotus) that do have solutions in this space, but I don't have details myself. I think a lot of the telecomms companies (e.g. Nortel, AT&T etc) who already have voicemail products are involved in this space. -- Cyrus Daboo
