Hello all,
I recently switched over to Sup, and I have a favorable first impression.
However, I have a few questions:
1. How do I get date searches to work? I've tried the strings on the
wiki, namely before:, on:, after: and during:, and they consistently
return no results. I'm using sup v0.7.
2. I'd like to archive all of my email older than two weeks (in an
attempt to keep my inbox "as clean as possible"). How might I
go about doing this?
3. I am currently running sup client-side, but it seems to me that,
given its index-centric operation nature, and the fact that this
index does not get propagated back to the mailserver, it would
be more appropriate to run this on a server (this also seems to
jive with the recent "Sup as a Service" postings). Should I toss
sup on a remote machine I have SSH access to, and if I do, how might
I migrate the index I already have?
Cheers,
Edward

Ended up fixing this by !!, T, t (for messages I didn't want to remove), and then ;a
Kind of took a while, since I had 5000+ conversations in my inbox.
Cheers,
Edward

Do you have the chronic gem installed? It's an optional gem but the date
search stuff requires it.

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.

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.)

Nope. Installing the chronic gem fixed things. I've updated the wiki
article accordingly.

Since I'm pretty good about archiving email when it's no longer relevant,
this is not strictly necessary, but it's good to know the existence
of sup-tweak-labels.

Excellent. I'm running on Ubuntu Linux and am thinking of setting up
a little bit of replication framework to make my index accessible
on multiple machines.
Cheers,
Edward
