I don't remember exactly since which version (1.2 perhaps) the move-mail 
protocol is available as pop and imap (as under netscape 4).

Edition / Mail prefs / Add a account (as i'm in french the name could be 
different).

But effectively i remember it's only available when adding a new 
account, not on the "first time" wizard.
