Mutt Folder List

Mutt Folder List is an impressive mutt patch that provides users with a sidebar displaying all mail folders along with the total number of messages and number of new messages in each folder. With this project, users can easily toggle the sidebar display with a single keystroke, and choose to highlight folders with new messages. Additionally, Mutt Folder List allows users to scroll through the list of folders, open the selected folder, and configure various settings such as the sidebar width, colors, and keyboard shortcuts.

Mutt itself is an excellent mail client that caters to those who prefer a simple interface over fancy graphics. However, users who rely on programs like Mozilla Thunderbird, Balsa or even Outlook Express may face issues when it comes to writing their emails in Vim. Fortunately, Mutt Folder List offers an approximate fix to an important issue that most email clients have: the lack of a folder list that displays all mail folders and the number of existing and new emails within each folder.

The Mutt Folder List patch was developed by Justin Hibbits and later improved by adding some useful features and fixing minor bugs. Its key highlights include the sidebar with the list of folders displayed on the left side of the mutt window, the ability to hide or show the sidebar using a single keystroke, and every line in the sidebar displaying the folder's total and new number of messages. Users can also scroll through the list of folders, open the selected folder, and adjust various settings such as the sidebar width, colors, and keyboard shortcuts.

In summary, the Mutt Folder List is an impressive software patch that adds a convenient sidebar feature to the mutt mail client, making it easier for users to manage their emails without any hassle. Its straightforward interface and customizable settings make it an excellent choice for those who use Mutt regularly.
