Subject: [sup-talk] IMAP and sent mail

I'm confused what to do about existing mail in my IMAP Sent folders.

Right now, sup thinks there are holes in my threads, because it can't
find my responses. They're in my Sent folders, and I didn't add the Sent
folders as sources. Should I? If I did, and continued to use sup, would
they ever change again? It seems as if they wouldn't.

I could move all the sent mail into INBOX, but that seems wrong because
then I'd have stuff I sent sitting in my inbox. Also, I don't know if
they'd get the "sent" label.

What's a good sup/IMAP strategy?

Yes.

Sup wouldn't alter them. If you used another client and added messages
to that folder, then Sup would index the new messages the next time you
ran it.

Unfortunately right now Sup won't add a sent label to those messages.  I
plan to fix that (by allowing you to attach arbitrary labels to sources,
which are applied to all new messages from those sources) in the near
future.
