I think this is a limitation of mbox folders. The only 'easy' way to
determine if there is new mail, is to check the access time, and reading
the folder causes that time to be changed.
Mutt could try to actually read every folder you tell it, and look for
messages with the proper Status, but that would be slow, and you
probably wouldn't like it.

If you use Maildir folders, Mutt will always be able to easily tell if
there is new mail. If this is feasible for you, you should go ahead and
switch to Maildir format.
