It is called `mail' because it is designed as a replacement for
the system /bin/mail command.

Hmm, I'd not call it recommended, since it actually goes against the
purpose of MU mail implemetation.

Yes, probably you have. The configure script provides three options for
that purpose:
Program names:
--program-prefix=PREFIX prepend PREFIX to installed program
names
--program-suffix=SUFFIX append SUFFIX to installed
program names
--program-transform-name=PROGRAM run sed PROGRAM on installed
program names
