There is a variable called mh-folder-mode-hook.  If it has a
non-nil value when you enter mh-folder-mode then that value is
executed.  I have in my .emacs file:

(setq mh-letter-mode-hook
      (function
       (lambda nil (setq indent-line-function 'indent-to-left-margin))))

You should try:

(setq mh-folder-mode-hook
      (function
       (lambda nil
	 (define-key mh-folder-mode-map "\eE" 'mh-extract-unsent-mail))))
