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? -- Eric S Fraga with org 9.5.2 in Emacs 29.0.50 on Debian 11.3
