Here is a problem that a few have run into: pop3 cannot deal with local
mail spool files; it is strictly a pop interface.  I expect the IMAP
equivalent to have a similar problem.  On the other hand, movemail is kinda
lame in a variety of ways but sometimes you need it.

To do things right, nnmail-spool-files should really be an alist, something
like this, to ensure that the correct method is used to retrieve mail:

(setq nnmail-spool-methods
      '(("po:wmperry@aventail.com" . 'nnmail-pop3-movemail) ; POP3
        ("po:wmperry@oz.net"       . 'nnmail-imap-movemail) ; IMAP
        ("/var/spool/mail/wmperry" . "movemail")            ; local spool file
        ))
