After I upgraded to Emacs 26.1, movemail wasn’t working anymore. I guess 26.1 doesn’t ship with movemail in libexec/… anymore. I couldn’t easily work out which variable it was, so I just symlinked /usr/bin/movemail there.

Where does gnus get the “I’ll look in > libexec/… for movemail” config from? If the emacs youʼre using was built '--with-mailutils', then movemail indeeed doesnʼt get installed in libexec. You can in that case specify the path to the correct movemail binary by customizing mail-source-movemail-program to the full path. The fact that Gnus doesnʼt detect this situation automatically the way eg rmail does is arguably a bug in gnus.

It looks like it tries the variable mail-source-movemail-program (defaults to nil) first, and then looks in exec-directory - in the function mail-source-movemail found in mail-source.el: · http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/gnus/mail-source.el#n689 Best regards, Adam -- "Your problem is you've got no common sense."
