Re: 回复： How to use rmail.el on windows

I don't know why this is happening.  Nor why you're getting the error
you mentioned in your previous message.

Someone else on the help-gnu-emacs list may know.  Perhaps Eli Zaretskii
has a suggestion, since I know he uses both Rmail and MS Windows.

It's possible that your Emacs was built with the switch "--without-pop"
which means that the movemail command doesn't include the POP3 capability.
