I think it should search for rmail-movemail-program in those directories
even if it's set (to a non-absolute name):
(defcustom rmail-movemail-program "movemail"
"If non-nil, name of program for fetching new mail."
:group 'rmail-retrieve
:type 'string)
(defun rmail-autodetect ()
(if (file-name-absolute-p rmail-movemail-program)
(rmail-probe rmail-movemail-program)
(let ((exec-path (append rmail-movemail-search-path
exec-path
(list exec-directory))))
(rmail-probe (setq rmail-movemail-program
(executable-find rmail-movemail-program))))))

Wouldn't it be cleaner to name this function rmail-get-remote-password
and the variable rmail-remote-password? (If not, at least make the IMAP
argument to rmail-get-pop-password &optional).
Even better, maintain both rmail-pop-password and rmail-imap-password so
the user can access multiple remote mailboxes.
