Nice idea, but our HP newmail seems to track maximum of 25 folders
only...

   % newmail ~/Mail/spool/list.*
   Sorry, but I can only keep track of 25 folders.

My ISP's SunOS version also has this limit; I'd guess it's in the
source.

If you have that many folders you care about mail arriving in, you can
run multiple instances of newmail.

    cd ~/Mail/whatever newmail list.[a-e]* newmail list.[f-k]* etc.

Now tell me you have more folders than (25 * allowed processes) :-)

Exactly.  Or if you don't like that for some reason, you can still try
out "frm".  I haven't looked at the source or used it that way to know
if it has a limit, but perhaps not.
