Thanks Felix for your comments.

Yeap, we share same experience.
I used to manually toggle sidebar visibility too for a while. Then I started to 
think 'would be great when mutt does that for me'. Something oriented 'This one 
just sucks less.' you know :-)
Hence my 1st mail.

They are of course not necessary and used for other purposes:
- having 'deleted' emails moved at first into a Trash can. Emails only get 
really deleted when deleted from within the Trash can. I don't remember from 
who I copied that, but I find that handy as mistakes happen.
- having F12 key moving emails from inbox to oldbox & vice versa.
I added inside the 'set sidebar_visible=yes' inside those hooks to reduce the 
manual toggling.
Unfortunately it just reduces but does not eliminate the necessity of manual 
toggling, and it makes .muttrc less readable (although I don't read it often).

Agreed, same experience here using xfce4-terminal.
