%  Hi,

Hello!


%  
%  I have a few questions below:
%  
%  1) I have 
%  set folder_format="%N %30s %f"
%  but I can't see the "N" indicator in the folder index even though some
%  of the mailboxes has new mail (it is always blank). Why?

If your folder_format is correct, then you probably have the common
problem of some other utility (biff, your shell, or anything else that
checks for new mail) updating the access time of the mailbox, which is
the only way that mutt checks to see that new mail has arrived (mod time
later than acc time).  The only solution is to figure out what's doing it
and make it stop.


%  
%  2) Is it possible to do something like (new messages/old messages)
%  in the folder index? For example it should read like (1/10) showing that
%  there are 1 new message and the total number of messages in the mailbox
%  is 10.  My biff show that I have new messages, but I dont know which mailbox

Aha!  Like this, for instance :-)


%  unless I manually open them one by one.

In the folder browser you'll just get a list of mailboxes with N flags
for those that have new mail; mutt doesn't open each to see how many of
what sorts.


%  
%  3) Is there a way to open the folder index directly without hitting
%  "c" and then "?"?  Or should I just re-bind the key "c" to do it?

You should define a macro, as Mikko showed.


%  
%  Thanks.


:-D
