I didn't have $mailboxes set, but I assumed that my inbox (~/Maildir/) would be automatically included... I just tried typing ":mailboxes ~/Maildir/" and then sent a message to myself and waited 10 seconds. Again, the message did not show up until I pressed a key in mutt. (Yes, I've made sure that my mail server is not delaying the message.)
