OK, thanks a lot, now it sort of works, only I can't see the
actual mails anywhere?

$ ~/.forward
| /usr/local/bin/fdm -m -a stdin fetch

$ cat ~/.fdm.conf
action "inbox" maildir "/home/incal/Maildir/"
match all action "inbox"

$ echo "n/t" | mail -s "test n/t" incal # this doesn't end up
                                        # in /var/mail/incal
                                        # anymore ...

But it doesn't seem to end up here either, as

$ ls ~/Maildir/**/*
/home/incal/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist
/home/incal/Maildir/dovecot-uidvalidity
/home/incal/Maildir/dovecot-uidvalidity.624ebab8
/home/incal/Maildir/dovecot.index.log

/home/incal/Maildir/cur:

/home/incal/Maildir/new:

/home/incal/Maildir/tmp:
