I type M-x vm and vm was loading in my new mail but then the workstation
evidently went down because my x-window collapsed.

I logged in on another machine and type M-x vm but it says.


Getting new mail from /usr/spool/mail/tb06...

but then it says

No new mail.


Even though /usr/spool/mail/tb06 is non-zero in length

movemail is trying to get mail from the spool file but it is
failing for some reason.  VM ought to show you the error message
but it doesn't.  Run movemail by hand to find out what's wrong.
