Would you try the following commands on a command shell?

----
$ cd ~/Mail/inbox
$ pwd
/home/tats/Mail/inbox
$ ls -l
total 0
$ ls -l /var/mail/tats
-rw-r--r--    1 tats     tats         6396 Dec  5 00:09 /var/mail/tats
$ which incm
/usr/bin/incm
$ incm -d /var/mail/tats
1
2
$ ls -l /var/mail/tats
-rw-r--r--    1 tats     tats            0 Dec  5 00:10 /var/mail/tats
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r--    1 tats     tats         3236 Dec  5 00:10 1
-rw-r--r--    1 tats     tats         3055 Dec  5 00:10 2

The incm command should display the numbers of retrieved messages.
