Go thru the README.variables file that comes with the Asterisk distribution. It describes about
the extension logic and how to handle different variables. Also, learn about pattern matching for
Asterisk extensions. Now add appropriate entries for voicemail in voicemail.conf. Have something
like this in your extensions.conf when the vm calls from SER reach Asterisk. 

exten => _X.,1,VoiceMail2(u${EXTEN})

The above code will not serve your busy/unanswered needs. Add a failure route and handle it there.
like:

t_on_failure("1");
t_relay ();
break;

failure_route[1] {
   route(2);
   break;
}

Also, learning about using t_check_status will also help you handle specific error conditions.

Best,
