Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for!
Unfortunately, it doesn't work:
macro index .a "<enter-command>unmailboxes *<enter> ; \
<enter-command>mailboxes \`mutt-mb -line 4 ~/Mail\`<enter>"
This seems to do the "unmailboxes" part, but not the second part of
it. Mutt says "key not bound" and displays the currently selected
mail instead.
