DESCRIPTION

21       new, in its default mode, produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all
22       folders which contain messages in the specified sequences,  or  in  the
23       sequence(s)  listed  in the profile entry “Unseen-Sequence”.  Each line
24       consists of the folder name, the total number of messages in the speci‐
25       fied  sequences,  and  a list of messages derived from the .mh_sequence
26       file.  For example:
27
28            foo     11.* 40-50
29            bar    380.  760-772 824-828
30             total    391.
31
32       The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder.  The last  line
33       shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.
34
35       new  crawls  the  folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and
36       prints them in lexicographic order.  Override this behavior by  provid‐
37       ing  a  foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders which new
38       should check, one per line.
39
40       In fnext and fprev modes, new changes to the next or previous  matching
41       folder, respectively.
42
43       In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
