Indeed, movemail doesn't have a --ticket option. However, it does use the default ticket file, so you can store the credentials there. Pease refer to this link for details.

Nevertheless, adding --ticket option is a good idea. I'll implement it.

One could not easily provide login credentials separately (not on the source or destination args) to the movemail program.
It does not honor stdin if it`s not a pty, thus format or cat will suffice.
It doesn`t either have a --ticket switch or a configuration variable to mention a specific non-user-wide ticket file.
I guess, some other programs in the mailutils collection would benefit from having a way to use a specific ticket file, to read the credentials from the stdin or any other way to specify login details separately. As far as I recall, only sieve interpreter has the "specific ticket" option.
