If you do

    M-x apropos RET movemail RET

you see there is a function `mail-source-movemail'

as well as `pop3-movemail'

and a variable `mail-source-movemail-program'.

What happens if you set the variable to pop3-movemail?

If you don't manage, consider switching to Gnus which
comes with considerably more steam.
