Feature.

Because since with mbox mutt only checks weather accesstime differs from
modificationtime, mutt doesn't really know there are still new mails in
those mailboxes. Otherwise it would just do the same as it does with
maildir.

And you may forget there's even new mail there. :/

Why don't you just press space to skip the box you don't want to read?
Mutt will use the order given in the mailboxes command, by the way. So
put those folders use seldom read at the end. Or leave them out
completely.
