If the command vm-get-new-mail is called outside of a vm buffer, 
it will report "No new mail." even if there is mail waiting.
I move the cursor into a vm buffer, and the command works fine.

I would suggest that a correct behavior would be one of the following:
  1. (preferred) It pulls up the inbox buffer and then retrieves new mail.
  2. it reports an error because it is in the wrong buffer.
