I run Mutt from a shell script that disables the susp and dsusp keys, so
that I don't end up suspending Mutt by mistake.

For me, Mutt checks for mail whenever I press any key in the index. Is
this not what you want?

Mutt tends to model Elm in this respect. It treats each group of
messages as a "screen's" worth. Say, if your screen can hold 20 lines
of index, then the group of messages will be broken into groups of 20,
and each group is displayed as distinctly as possible, even if there is
only one message in each group.
Those of us who are old Elm users are used to this behavior. It seems
that other users may not find this intuitive or logical. I thought I
recalled someone writing a function or patch to change this behavior,
but I can't seem to find it now.

I simply disable those characters before running Mutt, using my shell
script approach. This doesn't /need/ to be in Mutt.
