Re: gotmail oddity

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@shellworld.net>]

How would information like this be put into a .gotmailrc configuration 
file?  The hotmail account I have is on msn.com and I know of a way to 
include port information like domain=msn.com:995 but I don't know that 
that will even work because it's documented nowhere in debian's gotmail 
package distribution.  How to specify the ssl and other required 
parameters isn't described either but unless Microsoft changed protocol 
requirements gotmail should be taking care of these automatically.  I 
could use domain=pop3.live.com:995 but don't know how my msn address would 
then be accommodated.
