Yes - in the IMAP protocol, the IDLE command only monitors the 
currently selected mailbox in that connection. Technically, if you 
want to monitor multiple mailboxes with IDLE, you need to use multiple 
connections... this is not something that mutt does, and not something 
most servers expect (many of them have a low default limit on the 
number of concurrent connections from a single IP address).

Which is yet another reason not to have mutt check all your mailboxes 
every ten seconds.
