Here's some bash code I use in my dwm status-bar script to show the number
of unread messages in my maildirs, just noticed it's got some hardcoded
regexp strings you need to change along with the ${DIRS} variable (in
other words, needs some cleaning up):

############################################################
# Maildir UNREAD messages

DIRS="/var/spool/mail/antoni/new/ /home/antoni/mail/*/new/"

for dir in ${DIRS}; do
         licznik=0
         for k in ${dir}/*; do
                 [[ -f ${k} ]] && ((licznik++))
         done

         if [[ ${licznik} -ne 0 ]]; then
                 dir=${dir/\/var\/spool\/mail\/antoni\/new\//Spool}
                 dir=${dir/\/home\/antoni\/mail\//}
                 dir=${dir/\/new\//}
                 MAIL="${dir}: ${licznik} · ${MAIL}"
         fi
done

############################################################

All of my scripts are available at theka.tk/dwm if you're interested (may
not be current).

Best,
