Hi,

But i'll wait for the commit ;)

With revision >=270 you can disable counting by using:

 set sidebar_number_format = ""

Note that you will then see no numbers.

For mboxes, I really see no much faster way than now. Let me explain: for Maildir/MH there's physically one file per message. You don't need to open or lock any files, you don't need to parse all the MIME and attachment stuff to get correct numbers. We just count files and because this is low-level system functionality, it's quite fast. This doesn't work for mbox/mmdf in which case there's lots of work to do (open/lock/parse mbox file linewise, check MIME stuff,...)

Since the coloring still works (I hope ;-) you may be satisfied with a sidebar without numbers; if not, you need to switch to Maildir (which greatly improves speed when using header caching...) if you want to heave better speed.

 bye, Rocco
