I had a very similar problem that caused me a fair bit of grief (and
Google didn't help much), until I realized that I had the noatime
option set for the file system in question in my /etc/fstab. Since
mutt detects new mail by comparing the mtime and atime, this obviously
did not work very well.

It might not be your problem, but if you haven't already, it's worth
checking.
