While I use Exmh, and I would highly recommend it myself, as far as I
can tell, it meets none of the asked for criteria.
It is Tcl/tk based, not curses, so it requires X. While it can handle
multiple folders and can do automatic sorting, it is best (IMHO) used
with slocal or procmail to handle the sorting for you. Even with its
native sorting, you have to edit an external file to handle the sorting
for you. It doesn't need filename completion because it is all
point-and-click with file selectors and folder lists, etc.
My suggestion would be a combination of procmail (to handle sorting) and
elm. It doesn't do all you want or all that exmh does, but I'm happy
with it when I'm away from my home machine.
