For a time, I needed both POP and a local mailbox at the same time, so
I had to figure this one out, too.  XEmacs 19.14's movemail was not
compiled with POP.  I replaced it with Netscape's version, as
delivered in a 3.x distribution, but with a couple of bug fixes 'cuz
Netscape's was perversely braindamaged.

See ftp://pocari-sweat.jprc.com/pub/movemail/ for
	diff of Netscape's version to my working version,
	a compiled binary for Linux x86, and
	the resulting movemail.c source
