It seems to me that merging the Maildir flags and the Sup flags would let you preserve this, but for heavy Sup users this isn't a big deal. > - Moving a message from a Maildir source to another is not (yet?) > supported. I think this will be a pretty killer feature to have, because it means we can then assign "primary" tags and use those to have sync-backs move messages between Maildir folders (on the same account, I imagine), which would translate into a folder-sorted webmail view, which is about the best you can do without first-class label support in Maildir. I know of at least one friend who this would be a deal-maker.
