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
