Thank you, Ronan (and Howard Melman with similar advice)!

Well, I call
      (bbdb-initialize 'vm 'sc 'w3 'sendmail 'rmail)
from my ~/.emacs equivalent...
*AND*
      (bbdb-initialize 'vm)
in my ~/.vm
And I also tried to have the ~/.emacs bbdb-initialize withOUT the 'vm
symbol.

Help on bbdb-initialize says

Now what I found *does* work is to call  
*BOTH*
        (bbdb-initialize 'vm)
        (bbdb-insinuate-vm) 
from my ~/.vm
and what does *NOT* work is to only call
        (bbdb-initialize 'vm)

This seems a (at least documentation) bug to me..
Thanks again for your help
