If you modify your default line to say:

default - | ? "/usr/med/mh/lib/rcvstore +inbox"

the rest of your messages will be automatically filed into your inbox folder.
If you then add the line:

Unseen-Sequence: unseen

to your .mh_profile, you can do a "show unseen" whenever you log on,
to see your new mail.  (and you'll never have to type inc again!)

As far as the reason why the messages all get lumped into one big one,
I assume it's some bug (feature?) but I'd rather have it inc'd for me,
anyway.
