I dunno, I thought "in the mailbox index" was clear enough...
(As opposed to "message index".) Even if I admit it could be
interpreted either way.

Yes.
With other folder formats it can be a bit different in details, but it's
still essentially the same.

I do this often too. I do have Maildir format incoming folders, but
I think it should work with mbox folders too if you just make sure to
do x (discard changes) instead of q to quit...
I also make use of a patch which makes mark_old into a quadoption, so
I get a nice "mark new messages as old?" prompt on folder exit. :-)
