I don't know if this has been reported, but I think it is a severe bug.

If I startup vm with no INBOX file, or an empty one, an error is reported.
After this, I can continue and use vm as usual, but I have a habit of removing
unnecessary files, including empty INBOX files (and other folders).

I am using emacs 18.55 and emacs 18.57 with vm-5.32 on a sun4.

Regards,

Kees de Bruin.
