My remote mailbox password starts with a dash. I cannot use rmail
regardless to whether I store the password in my imaps:// URL or I
insert the password when prompted, and escaping the dash does not help
in either case.
As for movemail, when I'm prompted to insert the password I don't
remember in which cases I was successful (but I'm confident to say that
the command failed either when the dash was escaped or when it was not).
I can also report that when the password is included in the URL which I
pass to movemail, then everything works as expected both when the dash
is not escaped and when it is.

Did you try to customize email-movemail-flags to give it the string
"--" (i.e. two dashes)?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sorry, I meant rmail-movemail-flags.

I confirm that this works.
