mutt uses the file timestamps to test for newness; biff-like new mail
checkers that do not reset time stamps confuse mutt (see manual.txt).
Perhaps wmmail has an option you could set?

set mbox sets your default mailbox for storing. When you have read msgs left
in /var/spool/mail/yourname when you exit, mutt asks you if you want them
moved there.
Aside from the order of the list following mailboxes= I'm not sure there is
a way not to open your mail spool first. Try adding a '!' into the mailboxes
line. Bang, '!', is a symbol for /v/s/m/yourname in mutt.
