You don't need to use pop3.el with Emacs under Linux.  You can follow
the instructions given in the node `Mail Backend Variables' of the
Gnus info file (see the variable nnmail-spool-file), and in the node
`Movemail' of the Emacs info file.

Basically, (setq nnmail-spool-file "po:zawodny") as you have done
already, then (setenv "MAILHOST" "houinet.hst.moc.com").

Take care to use the Emacs compiled with ``-with-pop''.
