I have a Windows machine where Rmail is configured like this:

(setq rmail-primary-inbox-list '("po:user:localhost"))
(setq rmail-remote-password-required t)
(setq rmail-remote-password "password")

and it didn't work to get any mail from the pop server.

Looks like this patch is needed:

2008-08-20  John Paul Wallington  <jpw@pobox.com>

	* mail/rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text): Ensure that the
	filename of `tofile' doesn't contain any colons on Windows
	and Cygwin systems.

I'll install it in a few days unless someone objects.
