[movemail.exe](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Movemail.html) loads up every time I start emacs to use Org-Roam.  
Does anyone know how to disable movemail to prevent it from starting?

Is this used by `rmail` for you? Then you can delay the call to `rmail` or remove it entirely from your Emacs configuration if you don’t use it.

Update: I renamed the file movemail.exe to something random and now it does not load at startup.
