Thanks for your reply. The 'mail_check_recent' option does not appear
in my mutt/manual.txt.gz, nor does anything matching '_recent'.
My Mutt is 1.5.20 (2009-06-14), ubuntu maverick stock.
The problem you describe was fixed in 1.5.21, which was released last
year. As Monte pointed out, $mail_check_recent was added in that
release, since users vary in whether or not they want to be notified
about new mail in boxes they've already visited.
