Mutt checks mbox folders by examing the time stamp information.
Try these commands, when Mutt is reporting new mail:
ls -l /path/to/spool/file (modified time)
ls -lu /path/to/spool/file (accessed time)
By comparing the time when the the folder was last changed, against the
time when it was last read, Mutt makes its determination of whether the
folder has new mail in it.
