Mew 2.1.52 doesn't include `incm'.

If `imget' is available on your system, try this:

  (setq mew-mailbox-type 'mbox)
  (setq mew-mbox-command "imget")
  (setq mew-mbox-command-arg "-s local -d")

See also `/usr/share/doc/mew/contrib/00readme'.

Mew 2.2 has merged `incm' and improved it.  It's available on
Debian woody/sid now.

The old version of `incm' has some bugs.  I suggest upgrading.
