Here is what movemail says:

  (bucsd) 12:20am [~] > movemail /usr/spool/mail/jbw ~/INBOX.CRASH
  movemail: No space left on device for /nfs/home/grad/jbw/INBOX.CRASH

However, VM 5.31 does not notice this message and simply says:

  No new mail.

rather than a more helpful:

  Can't get new mail: no space left on device.

Enjoy,
