Most people do not use a mail filter. For them it is nice to
handle both personal *and* work related mails from the mailbox.
I want to keep a focus on new mails that are either personal
or work related with a limit to "~N (~p | ~W)".
I'd like to maintain a mail filter only for filtering out spam.

No, mutt does not give enough support
for watching folders to be really handy.

I want an extra flag for "group" and "work" related mails
because I do not want to add such mails to my "personal" addresses.
The "reverse_name" feature acts up on mails sent to a group,
eg it's a bad idea to reply as "ME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". :-(
Here's an example of what I'd like to see in the index:
Mutt 1.1.1i: /var/mail/guckes (threads) [004/1374] [N=300,*=0,post=31,new=1]
1368 N +! 991111 Gerhard Buergmann ( 13) BVI 1.2.0 und deine VI-Clone Seite
1369 N L 991111 Sven Guckes ( 50) Alternates, Groups, Lists, and Work
1370 N G 991111 Mike Orr ( 40) Duplicate messages, unreadable list
1373 N W 911111 Felix von Leitner (123) ******************* (1t's a S3kr1t)
1374 N X 911111 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (666) spam spam - wonderful spam
Explanation:
Flag Description Mutt Option
+ personal message alternates
G personal message (but non a list) alternates_group
L "List" (mailing list) lists
W work related stuff, personal alternates_work
X non-personal not found in any of the above
In the end I want that the 'X' flag actually shows possible spams;
and work related mails are usually not spam. ;-)
And then I'd like to be able to have mutt show
"/var/mail/guckes" as eg "MAILBOX" - much shorter.
