If your mail client leaves mail on the server, you will want use the
net_mail_scan_age parm.  Here is the mh.ini section.

@ Age (in minutes) of email to report/scan.  If blank, reports on
@ all mail on your server.  If your have your mail client set to
@ 'leave mail on server', you will probably want to set this to
@ 15, to match the 15 minute interval in code member internet_mail.pl

net_mail_scan_age =
