This is a known issue, the message is quite bogus. It does perform a
check for new mail on all mailboxes (regardless of $mail_check). You
can't turn that off.
If your mutt is recent enough and you really have so many mailboxes,
look at $imap_pipeline_depth and play with it once you know what it does.
