However, now that $PREFIX/libexec/emacs/26.1/amd64-portbld-freebsd11.1/movemail is not installed, we have received reports that Gnus, for example, gives an error about not finding movemail. There are a few different workarounds like patching, creating a link, or asking users to set `mail-source-movemail-program'. Am I missing a configuration option, so that we don't require any of these workarounds? Is movemail from Mailutils on PATH? if so, how come Gnus doesn't find it, it should find it when it invokes it through call-process. Can you spot why this doesn't work?
