More reading for you, clemens :-)  In fact, mutt will wait at most
$timeout seconds to check for new mail, but will also check when you
press any keys.  So even moving the cursor from one message to another is
enough to get mutt to check for new mail and update the index if need be.

If you're happily using mutt and you aren't seeing new messages suddenly
being listed in the index, then perhaps fetchmail is delivering to a
different mailbox (maybe it's delivering to /var/spool/mail/$user but
you're looking at $HOME/Mail/INBOX or some such).
