I bet my ass (I lost it already once) that you have set move=no in
.muttrc.

See   6.3.111.  move

  Type: quadoption
  Default: ask-no

  Controls whether you will be asked to confirm moving read messages
  from your spool mailbox to your ````$mbox'''' mailbox, or as a result
  of a ````mbox-hook'''' command.

Sincerely,
        Thomas
