Noah Miller is looking for people to test some changes with regard to IMAP voicemail:

Hi All -

At Leif's suggestion, I'm soliciting testers for a patch to IMAP voicemail.

Currently, when asterisk checks for voicemails in an IMAP folder, it only looks for messages in the same context and with the same voicemail box number as the person dialing in to VoicemailMain(). I believe this artificially limits what can be done with IMAP voicemail. For example, I'd like to have an administrator who can drag and drop messages using an IMAP client from his/her voicemail account to other users' voicemail accounts. This is not possible with the current implementation of IMAP voicemail.

The patch under this bug:

https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15670

changes the VoicemailMain() app to look for any voicemail messages regardless of what context or user the message was originally created for.

I'd love to see this make it into some version of asterisk sooner rather than later. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

FYI: The patch is incredibly simple and small so stability issues should not be a concern.

Thanks!
Noah
