This request should rather be addressed to system packagers instead of
the package maintainers. Like most GNU programs, GNU mailutils does not
insist on particular file names and provides an easy way for installers
or system packagers to alter names of any of its components using the
--program-transform-name configure option. For example, to rename the
programs in question to gnu-pop3d and gnu-pop4d, use
./configure --program-transform-name='s/pop3d/gnu-pop3d;s/imap4d/gnu-imap4d/'
