mu4e-overview.el - Show overview of maildir

This Emacs package lets you see a hierarchy of maildirs in a separate buffer:

mymail@gmail.com
 [Gmail]
  .Trash [0/25]
  .Starred [0/0]
  .Spam [0/3]
  .Sent Mail [0/4]
  .Important [0/21]
  .Drafts [0/0]
  .All Mail [0/56]
 Trash [0/0]
 Inbox [2/45]

Usage

M-x mu4e-overview displays a buffer with a list of all maildirs. The root maildir can be set via the variable mu4e-maildir.

The number of unread and total number of emails is displayed next to each maildir in this format: [UNREAD-COUNT/TOTAL-COUNT]. If UNREAD-COUNT is not zero, that maildir is highlighted.

Use n and p keys to go to next/previous maildir (or alternatively, tab/backtab). Use [ and ] keys to go to previous/next unread maildir.

When you click on a maildir or type RET when point is on it, mu4e headers view is displayed, which shows messages only in that maildir. Type C-u RET to show only unread messages.

API

The package also provides the function mu4e-overview-gather which returns the folder hierarchy and asynchronously counts the number of total and unread counts for each folder. This can be used to build a custom view of the folder hierarchy. See it's documentation for details.
