If you do M-x apropos RET movemail RET you see there is a function `mail-source-movemail' as well as `pop3-movemail' and a variable `mail-source-movemail-program'. What happens if you set the variable to pop3-movemail? If you don't manage, consider switching to Gnus which comes with considerably more steam. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
