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)
