In mutt, 'y' gives me a list of folders and a message count per folder. The list is defined by the "mailboxes" parameter. When I hit 'c' I am prompted with a default that is the first folder in the "mailboxes" list with new mail. This lets me address the "important" folders first. This even works across multiple IMAP accounts. In addition to mailboxes, I have the following set to enable this behavior: set spoolfile="imaps://server1.com/inbox" set folder="imaps://server1.com/INBOX." # imap settings set imap_user="user1" set timeout=15 set mail_check=60 # Priority: inbox on server1, inbox on server2, Debian folder on server1, ... mailboxes ! imaps://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/inbox =Debian =Misc alternates [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Default on sid, not sarge macro index,pager y "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "show incoming mailboxes list" I usually just hit 'c' and enter, and I'm in the 'right' folder much more quickly than choosing it from a folder list. If I do want the folder list, it is only a keypress away. -- Rob BOFH excuse #23: improperly oriented keyboard
