19.7. I'm getting the error 'movemail: Permission denied' when I try and start VM.  What do I do?
=================================================================================================

   Execute the following two commands.  movemail is normally located in
the XEmacs install tree at `.../lib/xemacs-19.13/${arch}/movemail'.

             chgrp mail movemail
             chmod 2555 movemail

The info is not very skimpy its just that you have to become 
familiar with the use of Emacs and its setup first. 
Contact me offline after you have checked your setup of movemail
and I'll try to help you get started.

Hope this helps,
