It's a feature. When you are ready to read new mails then simply give mutt some command like "change-folder". Also, there's the "sync-mailbox" command which forces mutt to update the current mailbox. And then there are these variables for checking for new mail: check_new mail_check pop_checkinterval I'm sure you will be able to make ue of these. but if you need *immediate* notification then check the page in my signature.
