`VoiceMailMain()`

Allows the caller to check voice mail messages.

        
          VoiceMailMain([mailbox][@context][,options])

old syntax:

        
          VoiceMailMain([[s|p]mailbox][@context])

Allows access to the mailbox for listening to messages. If the mailbox number is not specified, the system prompts the caller for the mailbox number.

Option s skips the password prompt. Option p (prefix) prompts the caller to enter a mailbox number; the number specified in the command is then used as a prefix to the number provided by the caller and the resulting string is used as the mailbox number. This can be useful with virtual mailbox hosting. Optiona(folder) sends the caller directly to the specified folder (default: INBOX).

If a context is specified, only mailboxes in the specified context are accessible.

Returns -1 if the caller hangs up, otherwise 0.

; go to the voicemail menu for mailbox 123 in the default context:
