Really? What version of mutt is this? I haven't been able to get this, or even a yes/no new mail flag column for the IMAP browser view. This is by far the main reason for my current setup, that is running mutt over ssh to the server. > It's very easy to see how many unread mails I have in each mailbox.

It looks like the file size; is that really important to you? If not I'd just omit it from folder_format. You can see its current value by doing ":<enter>set ?folder_format<enter>". Just remove the %s bit and set the modified value in your .muttrc. If the file size _is_ relevant, the solution is to use a fixed-width field and justify the contents, something like (untested) %8.8s -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages. Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court.
