<![CDATA[Support FOP2MAILBOXCHECK UserEvent]]>There are times where the Asterisk voicemail files are managed externally. Not until a core "MessageWaiting" event is generated does FOP2's extension mailbox status get updated. Only Voicemail() and VoicemailMain() in Asterisk can generate core "MessageWaiting" events.

I'm suggesting FOP2 honor a FOP2MAILBOXCHECK UserEvent:

Event: UserEvent
Privilege: user,all
UserEvent: FOP2MAILBOXCHECK
Action: UserEvent
Mailbox: 1234@default

same => n,UserEvent(FOP2MAILBOXCHECK,Mailbox: 1234@default)

and then trigger a mailbox check for that mailbox.

Of course if the "Mailbox:' argument does not match any of the extension buttons mailbox= value, the request is ignored.

Reasonable ? Or possibly you already have such a mechanism ?

Event: UserEvent
 Privilege: user,all   
 UserEvent: FOP2RELOADVOICEMAIL
 Action: UserEvent
 Mailbox: 606@default

Or better: you can do it with no dialplan hacks by setting in voicemail.conf:

pollmailboxes = yes ; If mailboxes are changed anywhere outside of app_voicemail,
; ; then this option must be enabled for MWI to work. This
; ; enables polling mailboxes for changes. Normally, it will
; ; expect that changes are only made when someone called in
; ; to one of the voicemail applications.
; ; Examples of situations that would require this option are
; ; web interfaces to voicemail or an email client in the case
; ; of using IMAP storage.
;
pollfreq = 30 ; If the "pollmailboxes" option is enabled, this option
; ; sets the polling frequency. The default is once every
; ; 30 seconds.

externotify is also used by some users.
