Earlier you tried using the "movemail" command on it's own. It timed out. So, the problem comes before Emacs is involved, in fetching mail using movemail. If you've copied your config from Icedove correctly then it should just work. I assume Icedove is fairly similar to Thunderbird. In that case go to Edit-> Account Settings. Pick "server settings" and look at the field "server name". The name you specify to RMAIL or Movemail must be the same. The full username must be the same too, if it has the "@" symbol in it then you need to use a hack, as I mentioned earlier. Check the "Authentication Method" and "Connection Security" in Icedove. If you're using TLS security then you need to specify "--tls" to the movemail command. If you're using Kerberos you need to specify -k, if you're using GSSAPI you need to specify -g. You can do this by setting the variable rmail-movemail-flags. These options are only supported by Mailutils movemail, AFAIK. In almost all cases POP3 uses port 110 and if it's encrypted port 995. To specify a particular port I think you put it at the end of the server name, e.g. myserver.com:200. I've never had to do that though so I'm not sure. BR, Robert Thorpe
