Re: split display?



So, I think I understand what you want: gmail. Yes, it's a web
interface, with limited keyboard commands, but the whole
basket/basement thing is implemented near exactly as you describe. I
think you'd be pretty happy with it, though a specialised version for
your own domain costs a bit more than mutt.

I've never had any problems. And I don't have to predefine every
single folder in a config file, I just tell it what my inbox, draft,
and sent folders are. To change folders: c, =foldername, or tab twice
for a list. And, mutt + screen is beautiful. I run several instances
of mutt, so I can quickly access my various common folders with a
simple ctl-a ctl-[np].
