Are you using mbox or maildir? It looks only for ~/Maildir with maildir.
With mbox it looks for ~/Mail and ~/mail directories, and they must contain
either "inbox" or "mbox" file.

If your mail is in /var/mail, that's not supported yet, and I'm not sure if
it will be. You could create symlink from it to ~/mail though.
