aquamacs 1.1 on OS X 10.4.10 movemail/imap: msg#00059

Subject: aquamacs 1.1 on OS X 10.4.10 movemail/imap

I've seemingly searched everywhere and can't seem to solve this problem, but can't believe I'm alone.

Running Aquamacs 1.1 on OS X 10.4.10 (powerbook), I want to use aquamacs as my mail reader/composer. I'm accustomed to using imap4 to retrieve messages from a remote server, and yet it seems that the default 'movemail' installed with Aquamacs 1.1 does not support imap4, and one must use the GNU Mailutils movemail utility as it supports 'more features' (supposedly including imap4). After a lot of digging I found the source package for gnu-mailutils-1.2 (could not find binaries using google) but 'make' returned an error, specifically:

--begin error output from make--
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I../include -I../lib -I.. - I../include -I../include/mailutils/gnu -I../mailbox -DSYSCONFDIR= \"/usr/local/etc\" -DSITE_MAIL_RC=\"/usr/local/etc/mail.rc\" -g -O2 - MT mailline.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/mailline.Tpo" -c -o mailline.o mailline.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/mailline.Tpo" ".deps/mailline.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/mailline.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

--end error output from make--

I created the symlink in /usr/local/etc/mail.rc to /private/etc/ mail.rc and still the error.

So my question is, how can I get a Mailutils movemail for OS X that will use imap4 (at one point aquamacs informed me that the movemail it was using could not use imap) either as a binary, or source that will build?

Or, is there another way to get aquamacs' rmail to use imap4 with its inherent mailfolders feature, because for me, pop3 doesn't cut the mustard?

thanks very much in advance for any help etc.
