There's a patch available on Brandon Long's "mutt insanity"
site (linked from mutt.org).
<quote>
Folder Count This patch causes mutt to count the number of
messages and new messages in a folder when you are using the
mutt Folder Mode (dirlist.c). This has a lot of overhead,
and is slow (especially over NFS), but if you have cycles to
spare, or few mail folders, this is for you.
First Version Patched: 0.47

The patch is targeted at an older version of mutt (1.0 or
so, IIRC), but it shouldn't be too hard to adopt it for a
current version.
If you try it, I would like to know how it works.
Another approach I've seen on one of the linked mutt pages
is a script, which uses procmail's log to determine the
number of new messages.

Axel
