I'm using sup v0.7. Do you have the chronic gem installed? It's an optional gem but the date search stuff requires it. > 2.

Check out sup-tweak-labels for a way to do this offline (which is really what you want). With chronic installed, you should be able to pass the date range query and have it remove the inbox label from all matching messages. You might want to limit the query a bit so that you don't do this to every message in your index, over and over. Something like "+before(two weeks ago) +after(15 days ago)" maybe. > 3.

Until Sup the Service is ready (and believe it or not, I have actually been working on it recently), running it on a globally-accessible server is what I do. You should be able to simply copy your .sup directory over. (Although if you're migrating from Windows to a Linux box, I'm not entirely certain that will work... I'd be interested to hear if it does.) -- William
