So I'll have to learn the mutt way. Thanks for your suggestions! > Try pressing '.' (dot) in index, it should list all folders which have > new mail.

I did set mark_old=no and marked some mail in some folders as new with 'N' so it won't change to old when I leave the folder. But I can't get pressing '.' to work...nothing happens. > I'm not sure about step 3 :) You could write macro which pipes the mail > through different set of procmail rules and deletes the original mail. > Then you could bind such macro to a key.

Those macros are far above my head at the moment ;-) I'll think pressing '.' would work for me (if it only did work...) > I am subscribed to many mailinglists and I receive many emails per day. > I'm having mails sorted directly on IMAP server.
