I wish this were true. 😞 Mine, which uses Exchange, moved to
multi-factor authentication (MFA) last year and I could not get gnus to
work with it directly. Instead, I installed davmail which downloads
from Exchange with MFA just fine and I point gnus to davmail
(i.e. localhost) instead. Works very well.
For OP, if the mail is actually mbox format in /var/mail/incal, can gnus
use a tramp specification for the file name? I.e. maybe something like
(setq mail-sources '((file :path "/ssh:user@host:/var/mail/incal")))
might work (untested, of course) but maybe not as it might depend on
what movemail supports?
