devil! You can also set this variable to @code{pop}, and Gnus will try
to figure out the POP mail string by itself. In any case, Gnus will
call @code{movemail} which will contact the POP server named in the
-@code{MAILHOST} environment variable. If the POP server needs a
+@code{MAILHOST} environment variable. You may also specify the POP
+server host name in @code{nnmail-spool-file} using the syntax
+@samp{po:larsi:@var{pop-server-host-name}}. If the POP server needs a
password, you can either set @code{nnmail-pop-password-required} to
@code{t} and be prompted for the password, or set
@code{nnmail-pop-password} to the password itself.
