Hello,
The replys gave me pointers but I used a differnent technique. I actually used
"newmail" from the Elm package with all the folders as arguments. It works
fine.
Replys whore:
Jason L Tibbitts III: Zsh
Nicky Ayoub: Combination of mailagent and exmh
Jason Noorman: z-mail
This one who gave me the idea on "newmail" (he does it with "messages").
