Description:Currently whether you use FILE_STORAGE, IMAP_STORAGE or ODBC_STORAGE needs to be selected at compile time.  This is not ideal, in my opinion a better solution would be to split the storage of files (potentially even audio clips/sounds files) out into a separate engine and to just link those engines from app_voicemail.  That way it even becomes possible to store the voicemail for one user in IMAP, whereas a different user could be stored using FILE storage, or even ODBC.

We're well aware of this limitation, and this is something that has been discussed in depth many times.  Achieving this would take a substantial effort in app_voicemail (and in other places in the codebase), and - to avoid loss of functionality or regression in behavior - would take a substantial amount of time.

That isn't to say we don't think its a good idea, but there's no point in opening an issue about it in JIRA without a lot of work to back it up.
