structure.

1. execute gotmail in shell to see the error message 
Actual Results:  
Error: Could not parse redirect location 

Expected Results:  
Check out the mails successfully

Patched gotmail pearl script

Just copy this script over the installed one /usr/bin/gotmail

It would be nice to have a net-mail/gotmail-0.8.2-r2 release though.

Doesn't work here, on a regular hotmail.com account.
Comment 3 Thomas Beinicke 2005-06-07 23:30:21 UTC
Can you be a bit more specific on what doesn't work? 
Any console output? 
Comment 4 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-08 06:10:19 UTC
$ ./gotmail2 -u xxx@hotmail.com -p xxx

I have no idea why it doesn't work for you. 
It works fine for me. 
Did you try to log in with a web browser and delete all messages and then try 
again with gotmail? 
Comment 6 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-08 11:14:29 UTC
Yup, nothing helps. The behavior is the same as when I supply wrong password.
Comment 7 Benjamin Smee (strerror) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-11 12:06:39 UTC
This should be filed upstream.
Comment 8 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-12 05:41:19 UTC
Hm, I need to apologize - I didn't notice you have to type "--username xxx"
instead of "--username xxx@hotmail.com". Your patched version works, as does new
0.8.3 (which is presumably based on your patch sent upstream, because the diff
shows no differences in code).

0.8.3 will be in portage shortly.
Comment 9 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-12 05:43:48 UTC
Ebuild in CVS, closing.
Comment 10 Harm Geerts 2005-06-12 18:54:25 UTC
The digest is incorrect

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/distfiles/gotmail-0.8.3.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
Comment 11 Andrej Kacian (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-12 19:02:20 UTC
Ah, upstream forgot to update version string from "0.8.2" to "0.8.3" earlier.
Looks like they fixed it, thus altering the tarball.

Anyway, fixed in CVS, thanks!
