Please do M-x toggle-debug-on-error, provoke the error again, and post
the backtrace.
What are the values of rmail-movemail-program and
rmail-movemail-variant-in-use after you get the error?
What does (rmail-autodetect) return?
Is there a `movemail' executable in exec-directory or exec-path, and
do you have permission to run it? What does `movemail --version' output?
