C-x C-f nnmail.el RET
Move down to "defun nnmail-move-inbox".
M-x edebug-defun RET
Bury the nnmail.el buffer, but do not destroy it.
Try to get your mail.
You'll get a buffer with a text arrow pointing to the line of code
about to be executed.  Hit SPC repeatedly to watch where it goes, and
observe the minibuf to see the results of each expression's evaluation.

You can `c' when edebug'ing, to stop tracing through the function and
just let it continue, or `q' to abort.

To undo the edebug-edness of the function, reload nnmail.elc, or
re-execute its entire defun.
