Hi Pedro,
what system are you using? Debian Sarge I guess, right?

Your subject line talks about rmail but rmail is not mh-e. mh-e is the
emacs frontend of nmh, the "new mail handler" which followed mh, the
unix mail handler. Now, what are you looking for to use: rmail or mh-e?

Should you intend to use mh-e I therefore suggest to first study the info
file for nmh:
"To get started using nmh, put the directory /usr/bin/mh on your
$PATH. This is best done in one of the files: .profile, .login,
.bashrc, or .cshrc in your home directory. (Check the manual entry
for the shell you use, in case you don't know how to do this.) Run
the install-mh command. If you've never used nmh before, it will
create the necessary default files and directories after asking you
if you wish it to do so."
After you have done this mh-e should work out of the box greatly
... you'll gonna see :-)

Within emacs?

I haven't used VM, just took a short look on it but stick with mh-e
then. rmail, AFAIK, is the emacs standard mail tool. mh-e is explained
shortly above. VM (I think it stands for "view mail") is another mail
tool for use with emacs.
