I have $mail_check set to 5 (and $timeout at 600, but I don't think
that matters). I use Maildir over NFS. I find myself frequently in a
situation where I see in my incoming mail log that I've gotten mail in
a particular folder while I'm reading it, but Mutt doesn't seem to
notice it. It certainly takes much longer than the 5 seconds that the
$mail_check value would indicate, assuming I understood its meaning
correctly... I wonder if this could possibly be some sort of NFS
caching issue or something?

Being paranoid doesn't mean that they *aren't* out to get you.
