Hi Steve, Adeodato, Christoph, Dann, and everyone else. I just now found out about this follow up (after another moment of frustration looking at the sidebar without seeing which folders have just new mail).
I am sorry I haven't provided all relevant information in original bugreport and indeed that patch patch-1.5.6i.sidebar.20041122 is hiding somewhere online ;-) Well - there are pages http://thomer.com/mutt/index-old.html and http://www.lunar-linux.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44 which keep sidebar patches for some versions of mutt but by looking at them I don't see that they have the features I need. Thus I decided to look at SVN repository of muttng: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/mutt-ng/trunk *$> svn blame PATCHES | grep sidebar 4 ak1 patch-1.5.6i.sidebar.20041122 wow -- one of the first revisions ;-) ok, running svn diff -r 3:4 -x -u >| ../muttng.svn.r3-4.diff (uff... takes forever... why didn't I do git-svn??) apparently that was just a really basic sidebar patch, not interesting at all ;-/ ok -- lets look at svn log and pick out relevant changesets: uuu -- this one looks lovely ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r559 | pdmef | 2005-10-22 21:12:29 -0400 (Sat, 22 Oct 2005) | 4 lines From: Lars Ellenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rocco Rutte: - add %u for unread messages to $sidebar_number_format ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r269 | pdmef | 2005-04-18 07:04:13 -0400 (Mon, 18 Apr 2005) | 5 lines Rocco Rutte: - sidebar cleanup: (partially?) fix $sidebar_newmail_only, prefix $shorten_hierarchy with sidebar_ (for consistency) - add $sidebar_number_format to eventually stop counting and in regard to newmail: r269 | pdmef | 2005-04-18 07:04:13 -0400 (Mon, 18 Apr 2005) | 5 lines Rocco Rutte: - sidebar cleanup: (partially?) fix $sidebar_newmail_only, prefix $shorten_hierarchy with sidebar_ (for consistency) r183 | ak1 | 2005-03-16 07:25:56 -0500 (Wed, 16 Mar 2005) | 4 lines Andreas Krennmair: added new muttng spec file for Fedora Core. added new variable $sidebar_newmail_only to only show mailboxes with new mail in them of cause - probably those commits are not exhaustive but they give an idea and svn blame on sidebar.c in that sidebar_number_format function also is interesting. So if anyone ever look for a challenge and decide to introduce missing pieces into mutt-patched --- that would be REALLY AWESOME!!! (if you decide to inspect SVN repository of muttng I strongly urge you to fetch it all via git-svn and then observe with git tools -- it would save you looooots of time waiting for SVN interaction with the server to complete ;-)).
