I'm far ahead, but there are still some little problem:

I did 'git clone', not 'git pull' (which I don't know, I know only clone),
and I got mailutils-3.2.93 commit 8d892095.

- ./bootstrap, ./configure and make ends OK on my F19/i686 machine.

- but when I tried to build mailutils on my F25/x86_64 server, ./configure
ends with error:
...
checking for struct sockaddr_in6... yes
checking for struct addrinfo... yes
checking for getnameinfo... yes
checking for wcwidth... (cached) yes
checking fribidi/fribidi.h usability... yes
checking fribidi/fribidi.h presence... yes
checking for fribidi/fribidi.h... yes
checking for fribidi_log2vis in -lfribidi... yes

configure: error: in `/home/hanzlik/tmp/mailutils-3.2.93':
configure: error: The requested library libmysqlclient is not found or is 
unusable
See `config.log' for more details

which is perhaps because my libmysqlclient.so 
(mariadb-devel-10.1.24-3.fc25.x86_64)
is in /usr/lib64/mysql/ :
$ ls -l /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 Jun  9 08:31 /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so -> 
libmysqlclient.so.18

after patching 'configure' with:

$ diff -u configure_upto_2017.07.07 configure 
--- configure_upto_2017.07.07   2017-07-07 00:33:11.000000000 +0200

  do
    if test -n "$path"; then
      mu_ldflags="-L$path -lmysqlclient -lm"

I was able build mailutils on x86_64 arch too.

I tried, when this problem may be due to using tarball which was generated
on i32 system, and I was repeated new git clone/bootstrap/configure
procedure on x86_64 system, but configure ends with same
 'libmysqlclient is not found' error.

I think, for now is my problem with mailutils build solved.
Again many thanks for your help.
