Hi Anne Unless your email client settings have changed it should work if you replaced the old perl script with the new one. If you're using kmail: in kmail Configuration > Network > Receiving tab enter the location of the email file, eg. /home/anne/.hotmail/Inbox (create the dir/file if it does not exist - your choice of path/filename) in the precommand box enter path to perl script, eg. /usr/local/bin/gotmail (that's where I put mine) choose "Mutt dotlock" as the locking method and make sure mutt is installed. be sure you have your config file in your home directory as ~/.gotmailrc I noticed on sourceforge gotmail release notes: [quote] Due to changes in cookie handling, this release now requires curl 7.9 or better. If you're using curl 7.10, you may have to use this option: --curl-bin 'curl -k', if your ssl certificates aren't installed properly. [/quote] $ rpm -qa | grep -i curl libcurl2-7.10.7-2mdk curl-7.10.7-2mdk I haven't made any changes to my setup. I simply replaced the old perl script with the new one and checked my hotmail and it worked. I didn't log out of kde and kmail was already running so I didn't restart anything.
