Depending on what you are doing with $filename after determining that it names a directory, you might also be able to reduce the iterations through the loop by just looking for directories to start with:

new
NEW(1) [nmh-1.5] NEW(1)NAME
new - report on folders with new messages
fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages
fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages
unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages
SYNOPSIS
new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]
fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext
fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev
unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen
DESCRIPTION
New in its default mode produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence". Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the desired sequences,
and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file. For example:
foo 11.* 40-50
bar 380. 760-772 824-828
total 391.
The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder. The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.
New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order. Override this behavior by provid-
ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.
In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.
In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
