Am I missing anything?

I just want to group the mailboxes by say department rather than putting
them all under [default].
So, I could use CLI to "voicemail show users for sales" or "voicemail
show users for technical", etc.
That is why I thought [macro-stdexten] will not be able to know which
extension is in which context.
Agree? |

If the mailboxes don't overlap, I don't believe you need to worry about
the context, I don't use it in mine.... |

I haven't been following the conversation, but why don't you use
searchcontexts=yes in voicemail.conf? As long as you don't specify a
particular context when calling Voicemail, it will look through all contexts
until it finds a matching mailbox.

Perhaps seeing some of your dial plan (such as the macro, etc) would
help not only me, but also others, because maybe I am just not following
you.
Off the top of my head there are a few things you could do..but again,
it depends on how your dialplan is set up and how you access the macro.
One way to do this is in in the outbound calling context you could set a
variable with the context of the voicemail depending on the extension,
then pass that to the marco. Another way is you could set an "if"
statement to get the extension and then go to the proper context
(assuming your extensions have some meaning to them). I'm sure there are
others methods to do this too.

in voicemail.conf so that I could use "voicemail show users for
[context]" to manage them easier.
However, I found out that I should not do that because if I am using
[macro-stdexten] in extensions.conf, I will need to hardcode the
[context] in Voicemail command within [macro-stdexten] and there is no
way [macro-stdexten] can know which voicemail context a user is in
anyway.
As a result, I just go back to put all users in [default] in
voicemail.conf.
Am I missing anything?
