mutt and imap - checking new mail interval

Here comes another important setting. This is only required for IMAP with mutt. The default time for checking new emails is 600 seconds (10 minutes) which is too low. The recommended setting for imap is 15 seconds which you can set it by:

set timeout=15

in your .muttrc file.
