I also (finally) got this to work (using v0.79), thanks to Jack for putting me
on the right track.
I just wanted to note that this:

gets me as well -- I had to explicitly add a :password "<my password>" to
nnmail-spool-file before I could get movemail to work (I couldn't make it
prompt for a password with a :program specified, and couldn't make it work at
all unless I specified a :program).
Also, movemail hated "po:alfred@globeset.com" -- it would only work with
"po:alfred"). I don't know if this is a bug or a feature ... :-)
