.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B Flist

is used to search a list of folders and display the number
of messages in these folders that are in a given sequence or set of
sequences (for example the
.RI \*(lq unseen \*(rq
-sequence). This is especially
+sequence). This is especially
useful if you use some mechanism such as
.B slocal
or
If (possibly multiple) folders are specified on the command line with
.IR +folder ,
then all these folders are searched for the given sequence(s).
-.B Flist
+.B flist
will display for each folder searched, the number of messages in each of the
specified sequences, and the total number of messages.
