#3062: Add folder_format code so users can display both RECENT and UNSEEN when using IMAP
I recently upgraded from 1.5.11 to 1.5.18, and to my surprise the %N code in folder_format suddenly shows the amount of UNSEEN messages instead of RECENT. I really liked the old behavior, which I successfully restored with http://dev.mutt.org/trac/attachment/ticket/2897/mutt- imap_recent.patch. But how about allowing both? They cover different use cases, both of which I feel would be useful for me. During my regular mail reading I'm interested in the number of RECENT messages, but when I have some extra time and want to catch up on some of the UNSEEN ones, I'd like a quick way to spot the relevant mailboxes without having to open them all and look. How about having %N count RECENT messages, and %O count UNSEEN? I believe this would be the most intuitive naming, since the characters then match the output of %Z in index_format and the ~N and ~O regex escapes. Please let me know what you think :-) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3062>
