exmh is an add-on to mh, which also needs to be installed and configured.
In addition, mh as packaged for Debian requires sendmail rather than
smail. If you choose to recompile it, you can change this.
mh does not *automatically* put mail into inbox; the inc command is used
to read mail from the system mailbox (/usr/spool/mail/...). exmh has
an inc button; it also runs inc automatically when it is started.
If you want your mail split into different directories before you read
it, you need to use something like procmail.
There's a lot to read about, but do persist; exmh is a nice piece of
software.
