Starting fetchvoicemail
I'm starting a new project called "fetchvoicemail". The idea is to have a little app that dials my voice mail, saves the messages, and extracts the metadata from the remote bot, and saves it all to local storage. That way I can write whatever UI I want on top of it. Think of it as POP3 for voicemail.
It seems there is already a commercial service that does this called "GotVoice Premium" that was reviewed by PC World.
So far, I'm in experiment and read mode. All I've yet discovered is that if you mess with ALSA settings, you make something strange happen so that your microphone doesn't actually record anything....
