NAME
       incm - Incorporating new	mails for Mew

SYNOPSIS
       incm [options]

DESCRIPTION
       The incm	utility	incorporates new mails from the	mbox or	the maildir to
       Mew's inbox folder.

       The options are as follows:

       -a      Retrieve	all mails from maildir/{cur,new} for maildir.

       -b      Backup  mails.	mbox:  No  truncate  mbox  file.   maildir: To
	       maildir/cur directory.

       -c      Use the Content-Length: field, instead of the "From " line,  as
	       a mail separator	for mbox.

       -d path Path  to	 mbox/maildir.	If path	is a file, mbox	is assumed. If
	       path is a directory, maildir is assumed.

       -m path The same	as the -d option.

       -s      Read one	mail from stdin	instead	of mbox/maildir.

       -i inboxdir
	       A path to the inbox directory.

       -u      Don't touch ".mew-mtime".

       -f      Preserve	Unix From (Envelope Sender) line in mbox case.

       -p mode Specify file mode that creates in mbox case.

       -o      Use the suffix when creating messages.

       -x suffix
	       Use this	suffix.

       -h      Display this help message.

       -v      Display the version.

   mbox
       For mbox, the mail separator is "From " in the beginning	of lines.  The
       incm utility does not convert ">From " to "From " in the	 beginning  of
       lines in	the body.  On Solaris, Content-Length: should be used with the
       -c option to tell the end of mail.

       To  lock	 mbox,	a  lock	 file("<user>.lock"),  flock() or lockf(), and
       open(O_EXLOCK) are used.

   maildir
       For maildir, no lock and	no separator are necessary.

       Consider	the following situation:
	       cur/{1,2}
	       new/{3,4}

       Executing incm without the options results in:
	       cur/{1,2}
	       new/{}
	       to inbox: {3,4}

       Executing incm with the -a option results in:
	       cur/{}
	       new/{}
	       to inbox: {1,2,3,4}

       Executing incm with the -b option results in:
	       cur/{1,2,3,4}
	       new/{}
	       to inbox: {3,4}

       Executing incm with the -a option and the -b option results in:
	       cur/{1,2,3,4}
	       new/{}
	       to inbox: {1,2,3,4}
       So, if both options are	specified,  messages  are  retrieved  multiple
       times.
