 My setup: I've set up two inboxes and two different collection lists.

Local or remote collection lists ?

Personally I have 3 inboxes of which 2 are transient(*) and 2 other local incoming folders (**), and a number of collection lists, all local but one. This might be an anomalous usage ...

(*) one IMAP and one POP, offloaded to the local inbox periodically via fetchmail.

(**) populated by procmail. I have a few other procmail rules which sort
SOME messages in some specific folders of the collection lists, but most of my messages are archived manually in the various folders.

Note I favour procmail rather then alpine filters to sort messages in folders (procmail acts immediaely when mail is received)

 Behind the name of the inboxes two numbers (2/123) are shown to inform me
 about new messages or about the total number of messages.

Yes that's correct. It is displayed for my local inbox, my remote IMAP inbox, and the local incoming folders. It is displayed for the remote POP folder ONLY I have previously accessed it.

 Since the filters move new messages to my collection list folders, is
 there a way to get those numbers behind the names of my collection list
 folders, too ?

I don't think so. I believe thse numbers are displayed only for the folders which are declared incoming folders. Am I wrong ?

i guess you are right, but i was asking anyway. There are always some tricks around i never heart of and i'm hoping to hear of ,-)

Could be a nice feature.

Have fun,

Nico
