[Asterisk] Forwarding voicemail never works?

Odd thing too is just realized playing the attachment as a wav file it says this is an invalid file type that itunes cannot recognize.

Just checked they're all set to no..

I had some notes on this as I couldn't get the email attachments to play on my Android. After changing, it worked just fine. Here's what I recall doing...

"the band-aid solution for me was to change the voicemail.conf file on my asterisk server to just use the format wav and not wav49 or gsm. The files are larger now, but it's worth it in my opinion. I still would love to see native support for playing wav49 files."

I never used 1.6, I went straight from 1.4 to 1.8. Could this be something inherent with 1.6?

Can you try to forward a voicemail to another extension and then post an asterisk logfile?

...because I care.

Wav only didn't help. Here's the log file of me calling my voicemail for extension 4945 forwarding the first message to 84945 without prepending it and then calling in *98 to check it from 84945. Not sure if this helps at all doesn't seem too detailed.

One other thing to add is I notice that if I get a voicemail, in /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/4945/INBOX it shows it there. If I forward it though to another extension, it's never in their /INBOX so it's like it just does nothing.

Any ideas anyone?
