That's correct and works fine :)
But the real problem seems to be myself describing my wishes <bg>.
So with "quit" I actually meant changing to the "mailbox view" (with "c" and
<tab><tab> by def., or -y on startup), where all mailboxes, given mutt with
"mailboxes (...)" in the muttrc, are listed.

Yeah, thats also my real problem with the "N" flags. :)
So mutt only looks on the timestamp of the mailbox if there are new
mails and sets the N flag as long as it hasn't synced?
I have now 24 mailboxes and If there are new mails I often
only look into what's there and quit mutt to read them later.
To open each mailbox the next time seeking the new mails is a bit
annoying... ;)

I know but all would be nice "outside"...
