 *** movemail compiled with POP support can't connect to the POP server.
 
-This problem can occur if you do not configure --with-mailutils.
-Make sure that the 'pop' entry in /etc/services, or in the services
-NIS map if your machine uses NIS, has the same port number as the
-entry on the POP server.  A common error is for the POP server to be
-listening on port 110, the assigned port for the POP3 protocol, while
-the client is trying to connect on port 109, the assigned port for the
-old POP protocol.
