Yes, the problem is with mail-abbrevs.el from BBDB.  There is a fix,
but it'll break other things.  In short, BBDB does not support FSF
Emacs 19.

To make things (almost) work, you can edit mail-abbrevs.el not to
undefine expand-mail-aliases under Emacs 19 (just comment that one
line out in there).  I don't know if that is a good thing to change
system wide...

Hannu> And when I`m starting vm it says

Haven't seen this one.  Perhaps you are using the mail-extr.el from
FSF Emacs 19 instead of the one from BBDB.  They are not identical.
