This sounds like an issue of mutt using UIDNEXT versus RECENT to 
determine the existence of new mail (essentially, the behavior of 
these things varies from server to server). I seem to recall that in 
recent versions of mutt you can switch between them (I don't have my 
regular mutt handy, or I'd just look it up in the man page). Anyway, 
try asking on the dev list - they would know.
