This is a nice solution but I just discovered C-M-t and friends and also labels.
My problem is I read my mails from one and only one mailspool (/var/mail/zedek as
asked to fetchmail).

Well I will try to live as is.

I have another trouble : when pressing m, I end up into a Message buffer and not into a mail-mode
buffer. What should I tweak to use the default mail-mode ?

Thank you all for your help
