You are not doing anything wrong, but this way accessing POP folders as the
primary-inbox never seems to have been tried, and it isn't working. Quite
amazing, actually.
The EmacsWiki page
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ViewMailQuickStart
describes the more common way of accessing POP folders under "Most Important
Variables - POP Server Folders". Please use that method for now. I will get
the inbox problem fixed in the next release.
Cheers,
Uday
PS: By the way, VM stands for "View Mail". And, gnu.emacs.vm.info is the
standard forum for VM discussion.
