I use: mailboxes `find ~/Mail/ ! -name .log ! -name trash ! -name sent-mail ! -name junkmail -type f -true -printf "%p "` This is great for mailboxes which change by getting added or deleted. All you need to do is put the mailboxes you never want to show up as '! -name mailbox' > > I still feel like I'm not understanding a bit of this thread though.

My point of confusion is that I thought that there was no way to see the 'N' in the folder view, only the mailbox view. That's why I only use the mailbox view with the -y switch and the following two macroes which automatically put me back to that view with one key press. macro pager "i" "<sync-mailbox><change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" macro index "i" "<sync-mailbox><change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" Is it possible to get the 'N' in the folder view?
