There is a setting called "timeout" that tells Mutt how long to wait
for input, and if that timeout expires, Mutt will do its new-mail check.
So there is "mail_check" that tells Mutt how often it should scan all
your folders while you're hitting keys (you wouldn't want it to look
EVERY time you hit a key), and then there is "timeout" that tells Mutt
how often it should give up waiting for you to hit a key, so that it
can scan for more mail.
