New sidebar feature

Today I included a patch bei Reinaert Albrecht which enables sidebar-next-new which has the purpose to highlight and set the cursor on the next mailbox with new mail in the sidebar. Thanks!

mutt-ng on Gentoo

As gass reported in the comments, there's an ebuild available to build mutt-ng on Gentoo.
