Re: Equivalent to 'limit' for index?

Well, not quite obvious at first, but easy to understand: Your script generates just a list of mailbox names, e.g. +foo +bar +baz. That output is usable by feeding it into a mailboxes-command. e.g. mailboxes `mailboxes.sh`. And that command in turn you can bind to a macro.: macro browser z mailboxes `mailboxes.sh` But: that macro will be generated while parsing the config, so it will execute mailboxes +foo +bar +baz when it is called. So you need to source that out into a seperate file, that than in turn is sourced by the macron on demand. So you essentially end up with a state that I already had: commit 17cb8a4ff0a455073fba19fdb95871b73ddf480e in my mutt-repo. At that time I was still using the 1st version of my mailboxes-script, but it got unmanageable as some of my folders grew too big. So the runtime of the script ended up being 30-60s, depending on the speed of my NFS-server serving the Maildir. So I reimplemented it using perl (because I wanted to do perl anyway some day) and build it to be completely optimized. The issue I diagnosed with the old version was that it ran through all directories and file to find unread mails, but that takes too long. In the perl-version I stop at the first occurance of an unread mail or don't even check the cur-directory if already the new-directory has contents. And I also avoid going into cur, new or tmp directories if it should print all anyway. But it is up to you what way you want to go.
