Literally "added"? You may have only one custom-set-variables section.
I'm afraid it works for me with a .emacs consisting of just:
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("po:USERNAME"))
(setenv "MAILHOST" "MAIL.SERVER")
(custom-set-variables
'(rmail-remote-password-required t)
'(rmail-remote-password "PASSWORD"))
BTW, this is all rather obsolete. The modern method would be:
(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list
'("pop://USERNAME:PASSWORD@MAIL.SERVER"))
But either method works fine for me.
Why do you think rmail-mode-hook has anything to do with this?
