I'm running it in emacs 26.3 on a mac (via homebrew), so it can be
made to work.

[My config][config] uses [straight.el] to manage it's dependencies.

Here's the interesting bit of the vm setup.

```lisp
(use-package vm
  :straight (vm :type git :host github :repo "emacsmirror/vm"
                :fork (:host github
                             :repo "hartzell/vm"
                             :branch "oldie"
                             ;; :branch "wip"
                             )
                :no-byte-compile t
                :files (:defaults "lisp/*.elc")
                )
  :commands (vm)

  :init
  (require 'cl)
  :config
  ;; Make VM your default mail agent in Emacs
  (setq mail-user-agent 'vm-user-agent)

  ;; Many many configuratinos things redacted
  ;; (setq vm-berkeley-mail-compatibility t)
  ;; ....

  (add-hook 'vm-mode-hook
            '(lambda ()
               (setq vm-visible-headers
                     (append vm-visible-headers (list "X-Spam-Status:")))
               ;; more stuff redacted
               ;; ...
               ))

  ;; ...
  )
```
