Maybe this has something to do with `nnmail-read-password' trying to
use `ange-ftp-read-passwd', which doesn't exist, with the advance of
EFS.  This might be the incriminating code in nnmail.el:

    (unless nnmail-read-passwd
      (if (load "passwd" t)
	  (setq nnmail-read-passwd 'read-passwd)
	(autoload 'ange-ftp-read-passwd "ange-ftp")
	(setq nnmail-read-passwd 'ange-ftp-read-passwd)))

As far as I see, every explicit mention of `ange-ftp' in a Lisp
utility is a bug.  It either has to go out, or be changed to efs.
