Thats not the problem, but thanks.
Mutt is configured that all mailboxes can recive mail and pressing . in
the index shows me which mailboxes have mail and pressing c gives me by
default a mailbox with mail in it if there is one.
The problem is that the list given by . isn't very readable and doesn't
say how many new messages there actually are in each mailbox.
I wrote a small script that searches the sub tree, and prints a nice
list with all mail boxes with mail in them and how many new messages
there are in each one. What I want is to be able to choose in this list
by item number which mailbox to switch to.
