-This problem can occur if you do not configure --with-mailutils.
-Make sure that the 'pop' entry in /etc/services, or in the services
-NIS map if your machine uses NIS, has the same port number as the
-entry on the POP server.  A common error is for the POP server to be
-listening on port 110, the assigned port for the POP3 protocol, while
-the client is trying to connect on port 109, the assigned port for the
-old POP protocol.
+This problem can occur if you do not configure --with-mailutils,
+and don't have GNU Mailutils installed.  Then Emacs uses its own
+version of movemail, which doesn't support secure POP connections.
+To solve this, install GNU Mailutils.
