BTW, when you say you get no new mail notification, what is it
exactly you are expecting? mutt is set to check mailboxes for new
mail every 5 seconds, and then a little message appears at the
bottom to notify you - is this what you are referring to? Or when
you press 'y' to view your folders, are you expecting to see 'N'
preceding the folders with new mail? Is this happening at the moment?
When I'm in a folder I see the new mail arrive. That's fine. When I'm
outside the folder, in the main folder list, I would like to see N and
also all the other attributes set in $folder_format like it does for
local mail:

Instead all I see are the names of the folders.
So all you see are the folder names - no metadata at all, such as
dates, times, flags? If this is the case you probably need to look
at your $folder_format; this is mine:
set folder_format="%N %3C %d %2l (%5s) %f"
You may also want to look at your $index_format and $status_format.
Refer to man 5 muttrc for details on the printf-like sequences to
use; you'll find them under index_format in the man page.
I haven't changed these since I switched to imap:
set pager_format="%S [%C] %n (%l) %s"
set index_format="%4C %Z %a %[!%d/%m/%y] %-17.17F %s"
set folder_format="%d %N %f"
Yours gives me:
1 ( ) Drafts
2 ( ) INBOX
3 ( ) Junk
4 ( ) Queue
5 ( ) Sent
Apart from the name and index number it's all blank.
