Hotmail have just sent me a warning of the withdrawal of the DAV
protocol - they guessed I was using Outlook Express, whereas I am
actually using the hotway suite. According to the mail, this protocol
will be withdrawn at the end of June. Microsoft are recommending
downloading Windows Live Mail, which is unlikely to be of much use to
me.
The project's own web page seems to be broken, so I have not been able
to check it for advice.
This package will need rework to use protocols still supported if it
is
to continue to support hotmail.
Yeah- many accounts have already been broken already, having been
switched to Live without(?) explicit action by the user. Paul Wise
pointed me to Getlive, a similar project that can get mail from a Live-
ified Hotmail account: http://sourceforge.net/projects/getlive/
Gotmail will soon be dead.
There is an ITP for Getlive from a few months ago, Bug#433414, but no
action since then, I think. If nothing else happens I'll mail the
ITP'er and see if I can take it over.
