If you have special characters like '@' in the username, you may need to
percent-encode them, eg. "%40".

I actually use POP to get mail using movemail myself, but it works with
IMAP too.
Anyway, is there an option to automatically transmit content of more than
1 folder, i.e. inbox, draft and sent... at once?
What is this "mh:" in a URL? Never saw that before. Is that part of
the generic URL specification? Or is this a quirk of the "movemail"
program?
I guess I need to get out "man movemail" or see what's in
/usr/share/docs ...
