Buffy displays a window with a summary of your mailboxes and lets you open them in your mail program. It is written with the intent of being a handy everyday tool for people working with large volumes of mail.

For mutt users, it can be a nice front-end to supplement the simple built-in folder browser when one has many folders to keep track of.

It tries hard to work out of the box and looks for mail folders in sensible places and comes with reasonable defaults. It supports mail stored in maildir, mbox, and gzipped mbox format.

What's New in This Release:
Buffy now correctly detects when a folder in mailbox format has been changed.
It also allows you to set single folders to 'always show' (useful, for example, for the 'sent mail' folder) and 'always hide' (useful for spam folders which otherwise always show because they always have new mail).
