That may well do the trick. However... Just being in the NEWMAIL folder
officially does not make it a new mail message. For that it needs a flag!
Just in case Eudora needs a little more help you may want to look at...

$OPEN/READ/WRITE/SHARE=WRITE file MAIL.MAI ! Verify directory
$READ/ERRO=No_mail_today/KEY="NEWMAIL"/index=1 file record
$new_bit = 48 * 8
$new = 0
$not_new = 0 
$newmail = f$extr(8,8,record)
$loop:
$if f$cvsi(new_bit,1,record) 
$  then
$     new = new + 1
$  else
$     not_new = not_new + 1
$     record[new_bit,1]=1
$     write/update/symbol file record
$endif
$read/erro=done file record
$if f$extr(8,8,record).eqs.newmail then goto loop
$done:
$write sys$output new, " new and ", not_new, " not so new messages found in NEWMAIL folder"
$no_mail_today:
$close file
