The buffy-list function ('.'), tells you which folders have new mail. It
doesn't poll anything for new mail. After $mail_check or $timeout
seconds (whichever is lower) mutt will tell you when the current folder
has new mail.
But since you use mbox, maybe that is the problem. Does your mutt
already have the check_mbox_size option? If yes, you could give that a
try since it goes by mailbox size and not by access vs. modification
time. (But of course it doesn't work when you make size-neutral changes)
