If you are on an *nix box, 'which movemail' or 'locate movemail' might help.

According to 'C-h f': (------------ snip! ------------------) mail-source-movemail-program's value is nil Documentation: If non-nil, name of program for fetching new mail. You can customize this variable. Defined in `mail-source'.
