In other words, if checking all your mailboxes takes longer than 10
seconds, mutt will be caught in an infinite loop of checking for new
mail.
It may have worked better on your desktop box because the hard drive
there is faster and has more cache.
What type of mailboxes do you use? Different formats (mbox vs mh vs
maildir) take different amounts of effort to identify new messages in
extremely large mailboxes. Mbox is usually the fastest because mutt
relies on the timestamps on the mailbox file.
