Hi 

Reading the INSTALL file in the nexstep directory I find


,----
|   ./configure --with-ns
`----

However when I run this option, I obtain a warning 
(I have seen in GNU/Linux)

,----
| WARNING: This configuration installs a 'movemail' program
| 
| that does not retrieve POP3 email.  By default, Emacs 25 and earlier
| 
| installed a 'movemail' program that retrieved POP3 email via only
| 
| insecure channels, a practice that is no longer recommended but that
| 
| you can continue to support by using './configure --with-pop'.
| 
| configure: You might want to install GNU Mailutils
| 
| <https://mailutils.org> and use './configure --with-mailutils'.
`----

Isn't this a  bit confusing.
