Hi all,
I want to clean up my mails a little, to do this I need to change the actual
location of a mail from one source to another one.
I don't think that sup already provide a tool for that. That's right?
I would like to merge 3 mailboxes and a big maildir to one mailbox.
I also consider to try an alternative to mailbox/maildir that will both
scales up and be backup friendly.
TIA,

Sup doesn't provide a tool to move mail between mailboxes, no. I find
that Mutt is actually the best tool for one-time tasks like this.
Now, in order to update Sup's index once mail has been moved, it
*should* be sufficient to sup-sync --changed on all the sources at once
(i.e., in one command, not split across multiple calls to sup-sync,
because that will lose message state). But I highly recommend a sup-dump
just in case, and try it on a small set of email first.

I thought maildir was the best solution for on-disk storage... is there
something better?
