You have gotmail running under windows?  I'm actually pretty impressed
by that.  I imagine the problem is that windows command line doesn't
know what to do with the ' character, but *nix shells know.

You're patch is probably fine for windows, but the 's are needed for
*nix versions.  Without them, the linux shells try to interpret special
things in the URL, like '&'.

To work well under windows, the script would have to detect what OS
you're on and do things differently.

How did you get this to work under windows?  Did you download a windows
version of curl?

I'm using gotmail on windows2000. I patched the original 0.8.2 with the 
patch (with patch.exe from gnuwin32, make sure there are CRLF and not 
only LF at line-endings in the patch file).

Now the following error occurs:
curl: (1) Unsupported protocol: 'http

I just changed line 581 from:
my($cmdline) = "$conf_curl \'$url\' $options ...

to:
my($cmdline) = "$conf_curl $url $options ...

And now its working fine for multiple accounts.
I don't know much about perl, but can this give troubles in the future? 
If so,how can I workarround it an other way?
