The above appears obsolete, for Gnus 5.7 and lower.

This means read from the ~/incoming directory (and nowhere else!).

Gnus isn't reading from /var/spool/mail.  Add another entry to
mail-sources:

(setq mail-sources
      (list '(directory ...)
            '(file :path "/var/spool/mail/lam")))

Does that work?
