First is your mail being spooled by something like fetchmail already
to the mailbox /tmp/mbox ? If not try something like:
(setq vm-spool-files '("/var/spool/mail/LOGINNAME"
"ISP.DOMAIN:110:pass:LOGINNAME:PASSWORD"))
Of course change:
First LOGINNAME to your local loginname
ISP.DOMAIN to your ISP
Second LOGINNAME to your ISP loginname
This will use POP that is built into VM to retrieve your mail.
