Public bug reported:
Due to changes Microsoft made in MSN Live/MSN Hotmail a couple of years
ago, getlive no longer works. According to discussion at
https://sourceforge.net/p/getlive/news/ by the project's author, Jos De
Laender, "There's no way I can reasonably patch GetLive further to fetch
mail. So I guess that's the end of GetLive."
I can confirm, I have tested it with a Hotmail account I spun up for
testing purposes.
Ubuntu should probably drop this package from all distributions of
Ubuntu, as it's no longer functional or maintained. As far as packages
that use getlive, it's one of the "recommends" for mail-notification.
Unfortunately I don't see a suitable replacement out there.
