I've got gotmail forwarding to this account, and it works. I'm unhappy that I don't understand what went wrong, but it's not a priority now.

This is my .gotmailrc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] password=codger domain=hotmail.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]@lydgate.net # save-to-login # only-new folder-dir=/home/anne/hotmail/ folders=Inbox # delete retry-limit=3 It's the folders bit that's causing the problem, it seems. KMail reports Cannot open file "/home/anne/hotmail/": Is a directory and Cannot open file://home/anne/hotmail/ I created the hotmail directory, and an Inbox subdirectory, but then I got the same messages about Inbox. The mail is being collected, I'm sure, because Postfix is sending Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender messages, and I can see the message that was picked up. Can you spot what's going wrong?

Thanks 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.
