That's because mutt has to read the contents of your mbox format mailbox.
Switch to (say) maildir. Much faster (and better, if you handle large amounts
of mail).
You'd have to suggest this to your provider, if you dont run your own server.
-s (or pop the mails down with fetchmail and run maildir locally)
