You're pressing <space> at the wrong place.
When you have new mail in more than one mailbox and press 'c', it
should say "Open mailbox ('?' for list): mailboxname", where
"mailboxname" is the first mailbox containing new mail. Now you
keep pressing <space> to display the next mailbox containing new
mail.
If you have a mailbox with new mail and it's not showing up here,
then there is probably a problem with your $mailbox or $folder
setting.

Not available in your version, I think.
