Are you using the "{host}INBOX" format? Try opening a connection
to the server yourself.
~$ telnet localhost 143
<courier-imap's greeting stuff>
Enter these commands:
A1 LOGIN name pass
A1 STATUS INBOX (unseen)
That should tell you how many new message are in the Inbox. Did
that work? If it did, it's a Mutt problem. Otherwise, the problem
is somewhere else. You can look in ~/Maildir/cur and
~/Maildir/new to see if there are any actual messages in there.

No, you don't need subfolders; i was just demonstrating how to
use them.
