I was just using ~/temp/mbox to test if it could get this file because
it could not get /var/spool/mail/dwrice.

Thanks! this seems to work. My vm-spool-files variable is
(setq vm-spool-files '("siren.bio.indiana.edu:110:pass:dwrice:*") )
Is there a way to do it without having to put in your password or
being prompt for it? Also, there is a message with subject "DON'T
DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA" in /var/spool/mail/dwrice
that insists on remaining there. This just seems kind of sloppy.
Why doesn't
(setq vm-spool-files '("/var/spool/mail/dwrice") )
work?
