My notebook pc running ubuntu is unfortunatly damaged for quite some time and I
never have time to have it done. But IIRC ubuntu has lots of symlinks in 
/usr/bin and so to bring Gnustep-paths and LFS together (so I was near to 
mentioning it in that strange base-splitup-thread), so even a direct call 
should work without caring for gnustep setup.

Probably it is just a typo: The app is named GNUMail, not gnumail. So the 
standard way to open it from the console is
"openapp GNUMail"
(after a ". /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh" if lacking in the
profile files).
Under ubuntu just "GNUMail" should do the job.

Have a look at the howtos. You only have to write a GNUMakefile besides your 
sourcefiles (very easy in general). If you use ProjectCenter, the GNUstep IDE, 
this is automated for you. Then call make (or use ProjectCenter's "Build" 
button) to create an .app you can open with openapp. (If make complains about 
lacking targets, do the ". /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh" of 
above.)
