Well, that's not a problem or bug, these functions do what they're
supposed to and this excludes checking for new mail.

For the current folder, it should only depend on $mail_check and
$timeout in the index. This has always worked for me without changing
folders. With mail_check=15 and timeout=90 mutt should tell you about
new mail after 90 seconds being idle.
