I've found the problem. The reason is that procmail doesn't create standard
mboxes by default. One has to append the parameter -f %Name. The option-entry
in .fetchmailrc has to be:
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %Name"
If the vm-folders are created with this option, vm works fine. This must be a
known problem. I wonder that no Howto refers to it.
All the best wishes and a Happy New Year to all
