Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports->alane over to maintainer I have updated gotmail to 0.7.2, released by the author today. Please check this version to see if the problem is gone. If the bug is not re-confirmed in the next 2 weeks, I will assume it solved by the upgrade and close the pr. Thanks. -- AlanE State Changed From-To: open->feedback Port version upgraded; waiting to hear if this solved the problem. State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Port upgraded to new version. Submitter has not reconfirmed the problem since the upgrade. Presumed fixed. |
gotmail is a perl script that can be used to download the mail received from an account at Hotmail.com. As they probably changed something in the configuration of the site there, gotmail fails with the following output: Gotmail v0.7.1 Copyright (C) 2000-2002 Peter Hawkins Gotmail comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details. Getting hotmail index page... Logging in... Following redirect... Loading main display... gotmail died with message: Could not isolate folder index location Exiting abnormally, cleaning temp files. Fix: The error message in triggered by the following lines: 815 816 if ($folder_index_url eq "") { 817 die("Could not isolate folder index location\n"); 818 } I don't know enough of the settings of Hotmail to know what to change myself. How-To-Repeat: Simply use gotmail as the following: I have a $HOME/.gotmailrc that has my hotmail account's login+password+address where to forward emails.
