Subject: [sup-talk] Multiple accounts on the same source

Hey,

I have two GMail accounts, and they're (of course) on the same server.

However, I am unable to add it in sup-add because it says it already
knows of it.

I am thinking of just altering the sources.yaml file and config.yaml,
but I do not want to break my system.

The first one works perfectly - it's just that I want the other to  
work too.

Help?

I guess that the --force-new option of sup-add could make what you want.

William may have to confirm this, but this works for me:

Either hand edit it in (but see below) or use a trick in the imap uri:

imap://account1 at gmail.com/

imap://account2 at gmail.com/

The account1 and account2 bits can be anything you want - sup ignores
them anyway (except when comparing two uris). But its useful to use so
that you can distinguish between two sources.

Note that if you dont use above and ever want to distinguish between
your two gmail accounts via the source uri you wont be able to. So my
recommendation is to use the trick above.

> imap://account2 at gmail.com/

This is the official recommended best practice. Yet another reason I'm
regretting having used URIs as source identifiers...
