Without entering the box?  Here's how to do it without even running mutt
:)

Mark everything old:

cat the_mailbox_name | formail -s formail -I 'Status: O' >> the_new_mailbox

Mark everything read:

cat the_mailbox_name | formail -s formail -I 'Status: R' >> the_new_mailbox

Mark everything new:

cat the_mailbox_name | formail -s formail -I 'Status' >> the_new_mailbox

You could probably do some macro magic to do this within mutt.
