Yes, this happens often. It _seems_ to be worse with some mailboxes than
others, but I've never been able to figure out what the problem is. Sometimes
it works fine without a hitch, and other times they'll be two or three mail
boxes with new mail in the directory, but I can only get to them by pressing
"?". I have 8 boxes (used to have 10), defined with the following in .muttrc:
"mailboxes ! /var/mail/netb +help +users +i386 +pc98 +fm-ml +mutt_l +dhcp_l".
The distribution to the various mailboxes is done by procmail.
