Posteo gives:
incoming mail server (IMAP):
With STARTTLS using port 143, or
with SSL/TLS encryption using port 993


$ cd ~
$ mkdir -p ~/mailFromMovemail/{cur,new,tmp}

I have tried:

$  movemail -m -vv  \
   'imaps://foo:***@posteo.eu:993/INBOX' \
   "~/mailFromMovemail"

I tried to add my full username but i read that
instead of foo@posteo.eu i should use foo%40posteo.eu

$ movemail --debug-level='mailbox.prot' -p -vvv \
 'imaps://foo%40posteo.eu:***@posteo.de:993/INBOX' \
   "~/mailFromMovemail"
movemail: Reading user ticket file /home/chomwitt/.mu-tickets
movemail: Retrieved and set ticket: 0

movemail: mailbox `imaps://foo%40posteo.eu@posteo.de:993/INBOX':

and if i try imap and not imaps.

$ timeout 10m movemail --debug-level='mailbox.prot'  -p -vvv \
  'imap://foo%40posteo.eu:***s@posteo.de/INBOX' \
    "~/mailFromMovemail"
