DESCRIPTION

     The  folders command  is used  to list  information about
     your  folders.  The  folders command  is part  of the  MH
     (Message Handling) package and can  be used with other MH
     and AIX commands.

     The folders  command is equivalent to  the folder command
     specified with the -all flag.

FLAGS

     -fast         Displays only  the names of the  folders in
                   your mail directory.
     -header       Displays  column  headings for  the  folder
                   information.  This flag is the default.
     -help         Displays help information for the command.
     -list         Displays the current folder followed by the
                   contents of the folder-stack.
     -nofast       Displays information  about each  folder in
                   your  mail  directory.   This flag  is  the
                   default.
     -noheader     Suppresses column  headings for  the folder
                   information.
     -nolist       Suppresses the display  of the folder-stack
                   contents.  This flag is the default.
     -nopack       Does  not  renumber  the  messages  in  the
                   folder.  This flag is the default.
     -noprint      Does  not display  folder information.   If
                   -push,   -pop,  or   -list  is   specified,
                   -noprint is the default.
     -norecurse    Displays information  about the  folders in
                   your  mail directory  only, not  about sub-
                   folders.  This flag is the default.
     -nototal      Does not  display a  total of  all messages
                   and folders  in your mail  directory struc-
                   ture.
     -pack         Renumbers  the  messages  in  the  folders.
                   This  eliminates the  gaps  in the  message
                   numbering after messages have been deleted.
     -pop          Removes  the folder  from  the  top of  the
                   folder-stack  and  makes   it  the  current
                   folder.
     -print        Displays  information  about  the  folders.
                   This  information  includes the  number  of
                   messages  in   each  folder,   the  current
                   message  for each  folder, and  the current
                   folder.  If -push, -pop, or -list is speci-
                   fied,  -noprint is  the default,  otherwise
                   -print is the default.
     -push         Swaps the current folder with the folder on
                   the top of the folder-stack.
     -recurse      Displays information about  all folders and
                   sub-folders in  your entire  mail directory
                   structure.
     -total        Displays  a  total   of  all  messages  and
                   folders in  your mail  directory structure.
                   -total  does  not display  information  for
                   sub-folders  unless  you also  specify  the
                   -recurse  flag.   The  -total flag  is  the
                   default.
