I see Andre has provided some of his own scripts and, they do look
interesting; I'll take a look too if that's ok.
But the index view is just that. It displays messages and info about
them for that mailbox; so no, you couldn't use the limit function for
showing mailboxes with new mail other than the buffy-list function.
In my default folder-hook I have this (borrowed from Rado's config which
is listed on the wiki under config tricks):
folder-hook . \
... ;\
macro index <tab> <buffy-list> ;\
... ;\
'
[then I list my other folder-hooks underneath]
and at the bottom of the file
folder-hook . 'push <tab>'
What that does is to list all the folders at the bottom of the index
view with new mail in the buffy-list each time I change to a new folder.
I also have buffy-list bound to <tab> as well so if I want to check the
buffy-list again when in the index view I just press <tab>.
Are you still having problems getting mutt to tell you what mailboxes
have new mail in them?
