When getting new mail, Rmail first copies the new mail from the inbox
file to the Rmail file; then it saves the Rmail file; then it truncates
following algorithm to retrieve it:
@enumerate
-@item If the @var{password} is present in mailbox URL (see above), it
-is used.
-@item If the variable @code{rmail-remote-password} is
-non-@code{nil}, its value is used.
-@item Otherwise, if @code{rmail-remote-password-required} is
-non-@code{nil}, then Rmail will ask you for the password to use.
-@item Otherwise Rmail assumes no password is required.
