Last time I looked, the thing known as "netscape-movemail" was
simply a wrapper script around sipb's pmail. It is not
bulletproof, and I discovered recently that it _will_ bitbucket
mail if you invoke it repeatedly while you're over quota.
Adapting emacs's movemail seems like the right approach. Working
out something with fetchmail might be another route.
