How do I clear (not delete) all Voicemailboxes? 1

[brgf11]

Hi all,

We have a customer who's Meridian Mail is 'full up'.
Rather than go thru the individual mailboxes to clear the highest usage one, we have permission to clear ALL messages in ALL mailboxes.
I have trawled the NTPs but can't find anything specific for a global clearing of Vm's, but leaving passwords etc in place.

If someone can advise how to do this, it would be very much appreciated.

As ever, thanks in advance.

Jimbo

not a very easy task, if most of your users are on the same class of service, modify that class of service to delete all saved msg over 1 day old reduce the allowed time for storage to 1 or 2 minutes and deny new msg for boxes that are full.. the voice mail will discard old saved msg withen 24 hours, then do a search for boxes that have been idle for over 30 (or so) days and delete those boxes, take away the forwarding on those phones... when i took over this account my mail was full but i had boxes in the seer tables that were over 2 years stale.. my hd's were at 90+, six months later my hd's are 30 percent and users have 15 min, and can keep msg's for 9 days unread and 7 for read..
