To prevent this, I usually press Tab one extra time to see how many

That's how mailbox name completion works too. It's what I expect and use.
In comparison, bash takes two additional tabs and a 'y' to bring up a
long list after one tab has partially completed "mail/cnc":
Mutt's completion is custom internal C code. Bash uses the readline
library, which can be tuned with the readline config file - the
completion behaviour you see in bash isn't your only choice. Zsh, like
mutt, is custom and has a bunch of shell options to tune its behaviour.
None of this helps Jason though :-)
