I have the following in my muttrc for a while now. I didn't like the "Old
messages" behaviour so....
#Don't mark unread messages but seen as old
set mark_old=no
set mail_check_recent=no
bind index,pager <TAB> next-unread-mailbox
this will take you to the next unread mailbox with tab. Not sure if
there is any binding by default
