There are currently 2 systems that I know of that can crossover 
voicemail and email on the market. They are not sold as one, but
work together.

  1) All-In-One with a ROLM phone system: The voicemail sends a short
     mail message to the user <name>. Rudimentary, but functional.

  2) CE Software's Quickmail, and Farralon Voice Terminal: work together
     as one. You can voicemail someone, or have a copy of a voicemail 
     appended to an email message.

The time is certainly ripe for some company to come up with something
and get the sucker shipping *now*. But having worked in the areas of
voice synthesis, and computer email strategies, the 2 are not as simple
as apple pie and ice cream to co-exist in a single system.
