Therefore the movemail program is the one from gnus and located (usually) at /usr/bin/movemail. If you build emacs "--without-mailutils" then the movemail program used is the one in the emacs-exec directory (../local/lib/emacs/...) To confuse things further, I believe in past these configure settings were reversed. I have configured my emacs explicitly as './configure --with-mailutils'. I therefore use /usr/bin/movemail as my movemail program and set explicitly as (setq mail-source-movemail-program "/usr/bin/movemail") Best wishes,
