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.
