If rmail-movemail-program is nil, Emacs looks for a program called literally "movemail". This is normal. > There's no program running called "movemail", just > sendmail, and I haven't found movemail in any of the usual places. ??? `movemail' comes with Emacs, so it should be in the directory pointed to by `exec-directory'.

FWIW, I use RMAIL since day one till this day, and it worked for me in all versions of Emacs, including all 21.x versions, and in the current CVS.
