fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages
unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages
SYNOPSISnew [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]
fnext is equivalent to new-mode fnext
fprev is equivalent to new-mode fprev
unseen is equivalent to new-mode unseen
DESCRIPTION
New in its default mode produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all
folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the sequences
listed in the profile entry “Unseen-Sequence”. Each line contains the
folder, the number of messages in the desired sequences, and the mes‐
sage lists from the .mh_sequences file. For example:
foo 11.* 40-50
bar 380. 760-772 824-828
total 391.
The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder. The last line
shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.
New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and
prints them in lexicographic order. Override this behavior by provid‐
ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should
check, one per line.
In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous
matching folder, respectively.
In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
