Hi,

movemail in mailutils supports APOP, but the syntax for it does not
allow for a password: 

  pop://<USER>;auth=+APOP@<HOST>

but

  pop://<USER>:<PASSWORD>;auth=+APOP@<HOST>

is interpreted as having the user <USER>:<PASSWORD>.  Currently it
seems that it is impossible to use POP + AUTH with rmail unless one
wishes to be asked for a password, or use emacs movemail.  Problem
with the later is that emacs movemail does not support imap; and as a
result you cannot have multiple mailboxes that use imap and apop.

Would it be able to make mailutils movemail support a password in the
URI, or make rmail handle rmail-remote-password better to always try
it when something asks for a password?  The last solution isn't the
best one, but it work.

Cheers.
