The -ng project was launched because there was a feeling by some people that the mutt developers don't drive the project with enough power. That was mainly because the main mutt-developer refuses to include patches into the source tree he considers unstable. This behavior is IMHO reasonable and OK as I mainly want a stable mail client. 2. I think all features of mutt-ng can be compiled into mutt-devel if you switch on the right knobs. 3. When did you try to use the sidebar support (it has been fixed by the patch-author recently)? I got feedback by another user who said the new patch fixed his issues. Did you submit a PR on that?
