My computer was working, or was up, all the time. And by doing so, I
figured out, that problems with movemail, appear after the boot, in
first one or two batches. During the computer work, like last 24
hours, I have not experienced problems.

I did not look into the movemail source code, and I don't know C.

I am next time, on boot, going to use other Maildir as destination to
test it.

And I have to find strace package to install it.
