Here's a /bin/sh script version of my previous solution, just incase
you're interersted:

# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line,
# then unpack it by saving it in a file and typing "sh file".
#
# Wrapped by Niels P. Mayer <mayer@hplnpm> on Mon Oct 31 17:41:42 1988
#
# This archive contains:
#	unseen-all	
#

LANG=""; export LANG

echo x - unseen-all
cat >unseen-all <<'@EOF'
#!/bin/sh

for i in `/usr/local/bin/mh/folders -fast -recurse`
do
	nummsgs=`/usr/local/bin/mh/mhpath +$i unseen 2>/dev/null | wc -l`
	if [ $nummsgs != 0 ]
	then
		echo Folder +$i has $nummsgs unseen messages.
	fi
done
@EOF

chmod 755 unseen-all

exit 0

				----------
If you know the names of the folders in which messages might be
automatically incorporated by mhhook or some other filter program, you
can get rid of the overhead of executing
`/usr/local/bin/mh/folders -fast -recurse` 
in the above script with a list of the folder names.
