Unfortunately not.

'C-h v mail-source-movemail-program RET' says:

mail-source-movemail-program is a variable defined in ‘mail-source.el’.
Its value is nil

  This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.

However, I can try setting it and see what happens.

I set the variable to "movemail" and then Gnus startet without an error
message.


Thanks!  (and thanks to Adam as well)
