It does what I want (and have always wanted).
I have added:-
bind index n next-unread-mailbox
... and now I can find new mail in all my (mbox) mailboxes without any
stupid requirements for setting access times or whatever to the files.
I always thought it should be simple and it is!
Why isn't this the default set-up for mutt?
It is somewhat slower than 'c' but not really significantly so where
all my mail is in local mbox files.
