I have about 10 or 15 mailinglists delivered directly to my ~/Maildir
using Exim. With 'Exim Filters', messages get filtered to the correct
'folder' based on rules. It's procmail on steroids.
Mutt is configured to read ~/Maildir, and only that.
An automated script for the 'subscribe' and 'mailboxes' settings
figures out what 'folder' represents a mailinglist and what are just
plain 'folders' based on their name (.list.mutt).
Then i have this macro for the default 'c' command <change-folder>:
macro index c "<change-folder>?<enter><tab>"
macro pager c "<change-folder>?<enter><tab>"
Now when i press 'c' i am presented with the list of all my subscribed
folders. Those with new mail in them have an 'N' in front and I really
don't care about the amount of new/oldnew/read messages. I usually idle
in my 'INBOX' (~/Maildir), new mail notifications appear in the
statusbar and can be recalled with '.'.
I really really love mutt the way it is.
Whatever the outcome of this debate is, please make it a toggle ;-)
