One doesn't.(*)  One uses POP as a spool file specification.  Here's
how:

(1) Compile movemail with POP support (Emacs configuration option
    --with-pop or something).

(2) Set the environment variable MAILHOST to where the POP server is.

(3) Use the following as nnmail-spool-file: "po:foo" where "foo" is
    your POP account.

I use this, and it works.  There's also pop3.el (comes with Gnus), but
I don't know how to use it.

(*) Sorry for nitpicking, just couldn't resist...
