Package: gotmail
Version: 0.8.9-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
It seems that hotmail drops the support for numbered pages when your
account has a number of messages, so gotmail goes on downloading the
first page, guessing that always there are more pages to download.
I made a small patch that changes the folder page download method:
instead of using numbered pages, it searches for the "next page" button
and follows it. This way, it works with the usual behaviour and with
this special one.
