Yes, the above solution didn't work for me either. After some experimenting,
I got it to work with

(setq mew-mailbox-type 'mbox)
(setq mew-mbox-command "incm")
(setq mew-mbox-command-arg "-m /var/spool/mail/edi -i /home/edi/Mail/inbox")

or, more cleanly to make it work for other users as well:

(setq mew-mbox-command-arg (concat "-m /var/spool/mail/" user-login-name " -i " (getenv "HOME") "/Mail/inbox"))
