I don't know if it helps you, but I use '<change-folder>\r', which can
be bound as a macro like so:

.mutt/options:macro pager g "<change-folder>\r"
.mutt/options:macro index , "<change-folder>?<tab>"
.mutt/options:macro index g "<change-folder>\r"

For me, that will typically let me cycle through to the next mailbox
defined in $mailboxes that has new mail, in the order they're defined
there.

You can also see the value of $change_folder_next.
