Not a Redhat person here, but I'm told that you can do
rpm -qf /usr/bin/movemail
to find the package carrying it.

That's how they are stored in your computer by whatever program
fetches it from your provider.

Nobody knows. Being Google, they will use some funny storage. Who knows,
perhaps Bigtable [2], to better rummage through your mails :)
You fetch the mails from Google using some protocol (e.g. IMAP). How they
end up in your computer depends on the mail client you use.

Judging by the Wikipedia page [1] it only wants to do Maildir.
