RE: Getting new mail on Microsoft

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello again,

MS is really a pain to use for me:/

How do you get your mail using movemail ? Should I rely on an external tool 
(fetchmail comes to mind for example).
Actually movemail as provided by GNU Emacs just fails to auth me.
Movemail from the mailutils distribution on the other hand fails in fetchming 
my mails with error message :

[2018-11-04 20:10:20.066] movemail: impossible de créer la boîte aux lettres « 
d:/Users/xavier/.cache/mail/.newmail-xavier%40maillard.im@mail.gandi.net » : 
Élément demandé non trouvé

Something odd is happening with paths..

My RMAIL files are in /d/Users/Xavier/.cache/mail which is in reality 
d:\Users\xavier\.cache\mail

I am running the official GNU Emacs as you can see above :

In GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32)
 of 2018-05-30 built on CIRROCUMULUS
Repository revision: 07f8f9bc5a51f5aa94eb099f3e15fbe0c20ea1ea
Windowing system distributor 'Microsoft Corp.', version 10.0.17134

But I am lauching Emacs from the cygwin terminal.

I am totally lost…
