[VM] folder list & jumping between folders

[Kyle Farrell]

Does VM have a way to show all folders/buffers in a frame or buffer?
I'm finding I'm using more and more virtual folders, and switching
between them via vm-switch-to-folder a lot. What I'm missing is
holistic view of all folders.

What would be great is having a view of all folders listed in a frame
or buffer. Maybe even speedbar integration. Bonus points if it could
show (#unread/#total messages) in each folder.

Is this a solved problem? I've got a feeling someone has done this
already. Or maybe it's not a common problem: how do other users
work with many virtual folders?

It may not be a "solved problem", but most of us use the standard Emacs
features such as buf-menu, to look at the loaded folders, or dired, to look
at the folders in a directory.

There is a "folders summary" feature in VM, but it is tied to something
called "berkeley db". Arik is working on disentangling it from berkeley
db. I have no idea when that might become available.
