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.
