The behaviour above isn't at all useful to me. If you're reading all your mail in order, then it's also not harming you. For you, nothing changes. With the above behavior, you will still read your mail sequentially. Mutt will not mark any of your mail as unread, because you will read it all before you leave the current folder. All aspects of the way you read your mail would be identical. So, in what way does this behavior not meet your needs? -- Derek D.
