Just to reply to myself, the docs say the nnmail-split-methods should be
   a list of lists.

,----
| The `nnmail-split-methods' variable says how the incoming mail is to be
| split into groups.
| 
|      (setq nnmail-split-methods
|        '(("mail.junk" "^From:.*Lars Ingebrigtsen")
|          ("mail.crazy" "^Subject:.*die\\|^Organization:.*flabby")
|          ("mail.other" "")))
| 
|    This variable is a list of lists, where the first element of each of
| these lists is the name of the mail group (they do not have to be called
| something beginning with `mail', by the way), and the second element is
| a regular expression used on the header of each mail to determine if it
| belongs in this mail group.

So I tried:-

   (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("inbox" "")))

The new mail still goes to bogus.

Suggestions?
