For mbox folders, that is true. It's considered too slow to open and
rummage through the folders every time you are curious if there is new
mail in the browser. So Mutt simply looks at the time-stamp on the
folder file, and if it is newer than the last time the folder was
examined, Mutt considers there to be new mail.
If you use maildir folders, Mutt can do a quick check to see if there is
anything in the "new" subdirectory of the folder. Then it would work
the way you want.
