My hunch is that your $index_format contains information that is not
present in the headers (like attachment information, nr. of lines).
That causes mutt to download the messages, just to build up the index.

I have the following in my ~/.muttrc:

folder-hook .                "set index_format='%4C %2M %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20F 
(%4l) <%-X> %s'"
folder-hook imaps://host.com "set index_format='%4C %2M %Z %{%b %d} %-20.20F 
(%4c) %s'"

HTH,
