check_new and mail_check

[Munish Chopra]

It seems I messed up my reply the first time, but what I wanted to ask
was:

I was wondering how often mutt checks for mail when check_new=yes is set? And is this 
affected by mail_check=5?

Right now I have both of the above set, but whether both are set or only
check_new, it doesn't seem to be doing much (I have fetchmail running
every now and then, but I actually have to hit 'g' to check for new
mail).
