Re: mailboxes list
Kyle, et al -- ...and then Kyle Rawlins said... % % I want to have two different sets of mailboxes (one for each mailing list) and As we've seen, there's no official way. I am interested in Nicolas's patch, though. Since you've already stated that you consider your mailboxes in two different sets, what about just separating them into two different directories or with two different prefixes? You could then specify an initial pattern and see only the pertinent half. For instance, I (for historical reasons :-) dump all of my incoming mail into =F.* and could simply change some names to =F.music-* and =F.work-* and go from there. Since the folders are all under $HOME/Mail, however, I could also create $HOME/Mail/F.music and $HOME/Mail/F.work and have procmail write to folders in there -- or not even bother to change my filtering config but instead simply cd $HOME/Mail mv F.music1 F.music ln -s F.music/F.music1 and let procmail hit the symlink. [In fact, this is what I have done for some work-related folders that go under =D.work/*, as outlined some time ago on the list, and even for my KotLBJL and other alternate-identity mail. To wit: [zero] [7:05am] ~/Mail ls -lFd F* | grep -- '-.*/' | cut -c47- F.bb - D.work/F.bb F.bulbs - ../Hosting/bulbs.justpickone.org/Mailbox F.mgm - /home/mgm/Hosting/www.milliongunmarch.org/Mailbox There was quite a thread on mail folder organization a while back; that might provide some interesting ideas.

AFAIK there is no such way. At least in the discussion about this
feature some time ago nobody knew such a feature.
I want to have two different sets of mailboxes (one for each mailing list) and
have a keybinding to cycle through them; i.e. a set of work-related mailboxes
and a set of music-related mailboxes. I find that there are times where I want
to check the work related stuff and spend too much time skipping over the music
mailing lists and getting distracted, and when I'm reading the less serious
lists I'm rarely interested in hearing about the work stuff.
Similar situation here.
I could do this with different sets of configuration files, but it seems like
there should be some way to just use a command to switch lists without
exiting, or without running two seperate copies of mutt.
I did it with adding the additional mailboxes while mutt is running
and restarted mutt to clear the list, but that's annoying.
I just created a patch to address the problem, you may try it, but be
warned: it's nearly untested.
I attach it, I will run my mutt here with it some time, and if it
works well, I will add some documentation and put it on my homepage.
If you can try it now, you're welcome. If someone uses it, I would be glad
if he/she can send me suggestions for the docupatch.
The patch adds a new command unmailboxes. It should behave exactly
the same as mailboxes, and just remove the parameters from the
mailboxes-list. Parameters not on this list are silently ignored.

There is already coding to sort the headers in a particular order, so why couldn't that be applied to mailboxes as well as the format is already familiar. mailbox_order =very_important_work_box =important_inbox\ =music_stuff =spam etc Then any that aren't listed in the mailbox_order would show up with new mail afterwards when you hit c to change mailboxes.
