The purpose of movemail, as its name implies, is to move mail from one location to another. For example, the following invocation:
movemail /var/mail/smith INBOX
moves messages from file /var/mail/smith to file INBOX.
You will probably never have to run this program manually. It is
intended as a replacement for movemail from GNU Emacs. The
movemail program is run by Emacs Rmail
module. See Rmail, for detailed
description of Rmail interface.
Mailutils version of movemail is fully
backward-compatible with its Emacs predecessor, so it should run
flawlessly with older versions of Emacs. Emacs versions
starting from 22.1 contain improved Rmail interface and
are able to take advantage of all new features mailutils
movemail provides.
