Boy you mailutils guys really really blew it, perhaps.
You never guessed that the username might need to contain a "@", and be
independent of the hostname.
$ mail --file imaps://address@hidden:address@hidden
Cannot create mailbox imaps://address@hidden:address@hidden: Invalid port or
service specification
So you need to put a workaround into
(info "(mailutils) Remote Mailboxes")
To prove that this really works, this works fine:
$ tail .getmail/getmailrc
[retriever]
server=homie.mail.dreamhost.com
type=SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
port=993
address@hidden
password=MYPASS
