have a look at hs-minor-mode
. it's not automatic though. for a more automatic approach, i guess you could customize the hideshow mode the following way:
- hide comments via
hs-hide-comments-when-hiding-all
- assign a function which hides nothing to
hs-hide-all-non-comment-function
and then - use
hs-hide-all
to hide all comments.
have not tried it. just an idea.
check out the hideshow mode page at emacswiki as well.

Did I understand right that it is not possible to get similar (automatic) folds to xEmacs as to Vim? I use xEmacs only for LaTex so I need folds only for it. – Léo Léopold Hertz 준영 Feb 23 '09 at 11:24

You cannot have similar folds as in Vim. I could not put folds to specific lines.
However, there is an addon Auctex which gives you Emacs-folds. They are not as flexible as in Vim.
Please, inform me if you have found a better solution.
