           Summary: mail/getlive: is dead
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

          Severity: Affects Only Me

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)
