Subject: [sup-talk] sup not seeing new messages in a maildir

I've been running sup for a while from gmail imap, and sup is great, but it was
miserably slow.  Yesterday I switched to using offlineimap, and pointed sup at
the maildir.

Now sup isn't noticing any new messages (yes, they are there).  It does pick
them up if I run sup-sync --changed, but not with --new.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I can only confirm that this happened to me too, not with maildir in
general, but with only a giant maildir generated syncing an imap folder
with offlineimap. For the reasons explained in another thread, I then
stopped to experiment with it, and actually I did not investigate the
reasons of this behaviour (also for me the options -a and -c for
sup-sync ere the only way to find the new mails). Since I am now using
successfully sup with big maildirs generated by other tools, one could
suspect that the problem is just in the interplay with offlineimap and
the flags offlineimap gives to the synced emails.
