new mail not visible in mail readers

[Alan Eugene Davis <adavis@netpci.com>]

I have been having a problem that when I fetch my mail using
fetchmail, the new messages do not always appear, at least
immediately.  Sometimes, I have to run fetchmail a second time, then
a few messages appear, and as I delete messages, new messages begin
showing at the tail end of the buffer.  

I use mutt, but with af the mail isn't visible either.  

Any ideas?  Could a lagging system clock cause such a problem?
