Offhand, it looks like you've got a movemail that was compiled without 
POP support.  But you'll do better to use edebug-defun on
nnmail-move-inbox and watch the exact movemail command line that's
being generated.

That's a great idea.  Can you tell me how to do that? :-)

C-x C-f nnmail.el RET
Move down to "defun nnmail-move-inbox".
M-x edebug-defun RET
Bury the nnmail.el buffer, but do not destroy it.
Try to get your mail.
You'll get a buffer with a text arrow pointing to the line of code
about to be executed.  Hit SPC repeatedly to watch where it goes, and
observe the minibuf to see the results of each expression's evaluation.

You can `c' when edebug'ing, to stop tracing through the function and
just let it continue, or `q' to abort.

To undo the edebug-edness of the function, reload nnmail.elc, or
re-execute its entire defun.

I'm trying to get mail from multiple sources.

Q4.14 of the FAQ tells me how to do it, but then it says it won't work
with pop3.el.

So I disable pop3.el and try it, and get this traceback.
