Mailbox sidebar for Mutt
I always found the default mailbox handling of mutt a little complicated, since it was missing an overview of folders on the main screen.
Mutt-Ng solved this by introducing a sidebar to list all your mailboxes, including a new/old mail count. However this didn’t last very long and the mutt-ng development stopped unfortunately.
I didn’t look at the possibilities regarding this issue for quite a while, since I had a mailbox status list included in my Windowmanager, however, I tried to integrate it into mutt again last week.
Fortunately the sidebar has been extracted and is now available as a patch: Mutt sidebar (folder list) patch
And for all the lazy people, there is also a debian package called mutt-patched which includes the sidebar among other useul additions.
Now I’m using the following, very nice, setup:
