There's a sidebar patch which is popular, it shows your mailboxes in
a sidebar along with the number of mails and unread mails in each box.
I used to be kind of addicted to it myself, but if you switch imap
accounts in mutt the sidebar doesn't keep up, just keeps adding the
mailboxes to the list without getting rid of the old ones from the
previous account. Probably the only real drawback, but it was confusing
enough I just went back to straight mutt. As someone else mentioned,
hitting "y" gives you the list, and "c" will automatically suggest
boxes with new, unread mail. Good enough for me, YMMV.
