What were you trying to do?
[.read new incoming mail.]
How? Xmh? Rmail? Inc? What exact command did you execute in order
to read your mail?
What's wrong:
[.tells me "no new mail to incorparate when indeed there is.]
How do you know that there is new mail to incorporate? Also, are you
sure that actually, you hadn't already incorporated it, so that it was
already in your inbox and waiting for you to view it? Note that once
you incorporate mail, "inc" won't ever show it again, even if you
haven't read it yet. You have to use the commands that view your
mailbox (e.g. "scan") to get to it.
