thanks

I don't think that a failure to fetch your mail constitutes serious
data loss. You can still use your browser :-/

I'll see about preparing an upload for stable-proposed-updates, but I
understand the RMs don't much like putting new upstream versions in
stable point releases.

In the meantime, please upgrade to gotmail 0.8.9-1. The package can
probably be installed as-is on sarge, and certainly builds fine from
source on sarge.
