Description:I have a user on my asterisk system called "uranus". But asterisk always searches for user "ranus". The extension for voicemails is the following: exten => s,2,Voicemail(u${ARG1}). So with uranus this is: "exten => s,2,Voicemail(uuranus)".

I think that asterisk should only need the first "u" to know that it should play the "unavailable" message?!?

If I recall voicemail boxes must be numerical.  This is because you can't enter "uranus" on your telephone keypad.  Its also the same reason you can't have alphanumeric voicemail passwords.

Yep not a bug.  Testing this shows that you CAN NOT have alpha voicemail boxes.  I have never known this to work.  If you feel that you should be able to do this then please find me on IRC bkw_ and we can talk about it.

Thanks,
