Re lists, I'm guessing it has to do with 1.3.1 at
http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/

1.3.1. Polling for new mail
This works the same as normal mail, with a couple of caveats. You add
mailboxes you'd like to check for mail using the mailboxes command. If
you've set your folder as above, you can do

    mailboxes =lists/mutt-dev =lists/mutt-users 

to poll for mail in imap://hostname/lists/mutt-dev and
imap://hostname/lists/mutt-users.

The caveats:

    * Mutt will scan for new mail in all of your mailboxes every
    * mail_check seconds. The default is 5 seconds, which will make mutt
    * feel very sluggish if you have more than a couple of mailboxes
    * defined. You'll like mutt better if you increase this to at least
    * 60.
    * Mutt checks for mail in the current IMAP mailbox no more ofter
    * than timeout seconds. The default is 600, which means you will
    * only get notified about new mail in your current mailbox every 10
    * minutes. You may wish to lower this to something like 15.
