The polling loop simply generates events when it detects changes. The rest of Asterisk still expects MWI to be handled in an event based fashion. -- Russell Bryant Senior Software Engineer Open Source Team Lead Digium, Inc. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The channel drivers are no longer responsible for constantly manually checking mailboxes for changes so that they can send MWI information to users. Examples of situations that would require this option are web interfaces to voicemail or an email client in the case of using IMAP storage. I vote for a truly event based solution: - A web GUI modifies a mailbox (e.g. deletes a message) - The GUI triggers the polling of this specific mailbox Action: PollMailbox Mailbox: 1234 ... or Action: MailboxModifiedExternally Context: default Mailbox: 1234 Folder: Work File: msg0002 I agree that it would be a nice addition. I'm not so sure that it would remove the need to be able to enable periodic polling in Asterisk, though. For example, take IMAP storage of voicemail. There would not be any easy way to trigger the poll after someone has made changes using their IMAP client. -- Russell Bryant Senior Software Engineer Open Source Team Lead Digium, Inc. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I'm not so sure that it would remove the need to be able to enable periodic polling in Asterisk, though. At least in some setups (a lot actually) you would not need to poll: GUIs could definitely trigger it. For example, take IMAP storage of voicemail. There would not be any easy way to trigger the poll after someone has made changes using their IMAP client. I'm pretty sure there are IMAP servers with custom hooks (Dovecot?).
