https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191367 Bug ID: 191367 Summary: mail/getlive: is dead Product: Ports Tree Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: beastie@tardisi.com First there was hotmail, where there was a program called GotMail (mail/gotmail). But, then Microsoft announced on 2007-05-07 that its new hotmail-live is gold and that everybody can migrate to it. GotMail stop working once a user switches to the new platform. On 2007-05-20, GetLive was announced. The last release of GotMail was 2007-04-10. Earlier this year (before my previous 3.0.3 patch was committed, and before I got to creating a patch for the 3.0.4 update), Microsoft started migrating users to its 'outlook' platform. GetLive has been unable to fetch mail from these accounts. After much investigation, initially by users such as myself, since the project owner's accounts weren't affected until much later. I have two hotmail.com accounts, where at first only one of the accounts was affected. On 2014-05-02, the project owner declared GetLive to be dead. He has said that he is working on a new project, likely to be python instead of perl based and not 100% compatible to GetLive (where GetLive was made to be a full replacement to GotMail) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
