[bug-mailutils] Emacs movemail takes precedence over mailutils

[Iain Houston]

Dear Sergey,

I doubt that this is a bug ... but it's not behaving as I was
expecting. Can you tell me what's going wrong?

Many thanks!

Iain Houston

I have installed mailutils from the Ubuntu 12.10 repo and specified the 
rmail-mailmove-program as either /usr/bin/movemail or 
/usr/bin/movemail.mailutils but in either case emacs reports

 rmail-parse-url: Emacs movemail does not support imap protocol

as a result of M-x rmail RET. I infer from this that emacs movemail is being 
used and that the mailutils movemail is being ignored.

In my ~/.emacs.d/init.el I have:

 ;; Reading mail
 (setq rmail-movemail-flags (list "--tls"))
 (setq rmail-movemail-program "/usr/bin/movemail.mailutils")
 ;; (setq rmail-movemail-program "/usr/bin/movemail") 
 (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list       
     (quote("imap://mylocal%40jazz2.eu:address@hidden"))) 

I verified that the movemail worked on its own before I configured init.el as 
follows:

sudo movemail -p -v 'imap://mylocal%40jazz2.eu:address@hidden' test-mbox
movemail: number of messages in source mailbox: 1
movemail: number of processed messages: 1
movemail: number of errors: 0 / 0
