+Please note that it is not recommended to store your voicemails in the top
+level folder where your users will keep their emails, especially if there
+are a large number of emails. A large number of emails in the same folder(s)
+that you're storing your voicemails could cause a large delay as Asterisk must
+parse through all the emails. For example a mailbox with 100 emails in it could
+take up to 60 seconds to receive a response.
