Hello there,
As some of you probably remember, there is a handy sidebar in Gmail
which lists your tags and how many e-mails you have in each one.
What I do with this is have e-mail skip my inbox, get a mailing list
tag applied to it, and then get archived, at which point it shows up
in my labels sidebar. I have my "important" mail in my inbox, and the
mailing lists with updates are clearly marked.
Any suggestions as to what sup users do to have this kind of workflow?
It's preferable for me because it keeps things tidy, I can see the new
mails, and I get >50 e-mails per day. It'd be a shame to have them all
fall into my inbox and spam it up, which I prefer to keep clean for
"needs to be taken care of immediately" type e-mail.
Thanks,
-AT

Use the Label view. Hit L followed by enter.

I think what he's looking for is the information about his labels
to always be present, as opposed to something he has to remind
himself to check.
Cheers,
Edward

So something similar to the folder view hack/patch for mutt? That
doesn't exist in sup. The closest you get is having the 'All Labels'
buffer open. You can jump to a view of all messages with that label
by hitting enter on the selected label. Moving back to it is simple
with the buffer rolling keys. I believe that some people operate from
this buffer instead of the inbox one. Not my cup of tea though.
HTH.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. It is a rather nice interface
actually, I didn't really think about it for some reason.
And I guess there are probably some configuration options to skip
inbox and attach labels to stuff matching stuff automatically, with
procmail. I think I saw a page about that somewhere.
I guess there is probably a way to programatically access this kind of
information also, but are there any command line tools I can use to
query for this kind of stuff? If so, I can hack my window manager's
panels to display the mails in these labels, which would be pretty
rad. (My WM is "Awesome" btw -- that's the name.)
Any suggestions for quickly getting this labels-has-unread-messages
info outside of sup?
Thanks guys! :)

I just actually ran a quick test (with 0.8) and it looks like the
label-list-mode fails to update automatically D:
What I did was put on the label-list-mode, manually send myself an
e-mail, re-run fetchmail to grab it (I get a notification via procmail
saying it came in). Then I remember that sup polls at intervals, so I
wait.
Eventually, the status bar at the bottom says that there is a new
message in the inbox, but the Inbox label does not get updated in my
view. It still says 0/0.
I press x to go back to the inbox screen, it has the mail. I go back
to label-list-mode, and now it registers it.
So I guess I'd call that a bug actually, and it's unlikely that people
operate out of this mode habitually or else this would have probably
been found.
(Unless it already has?)
Cheers,

You can press "P" to force a poll.

Yep, currently label-list-mode only updates when one of three things
happens:
- it gets created
- it gets focus (you switch to it from another buffer)
- you press '@'
Also, it only reflects the index state, so if you read a new message
something and don't press "$", it won't reflect that change.
I'd happily accept patches for any of those issues. :)

Attached is a labels mode outside of sup... Useful for conky etc. Just
pipe the output to a file (warnings errors etc wont go to the file)
William - if you want to add this to sup/bin feel free. Its basically
the regen_text method lifted and edited slightly from the
label-list-mode
It might need a few more tweaks - I'm not sure it needs to
load/save/unlock the index really. They're there because they came for
free with the copy and paste of bin/sup-tweak-labels :)

Oh and I forgot - if you want to kick off sup from a click on one of
these labels (assuming you can do something like that in your WM) you
can call sup with --search "label:somelabel" to get that label
displayed.

You might want to delete lines 24-26 as well to save the warning about
uninitialised variable. At some point I'll post my version with a
query which is a little less hurried, but doesnt work quite how I want
yet.

Nice idea. I'd add such a thing, but I think you can make it
significantly simpler. (As you point out, locking the index is not
necessary.)
Something like:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'sup'
i = Redwood::Index.new; i.load
l = Redwood::LabelManager.new File.join(ENV["HOME"], ".sup", "labels.txt")
l.all_labels.
map { |label| [label, l.string_for(label)] }.
sort_by { |label, name| name }.
each do |label, name|
total = i.num_results_for :label => label
unread = (label == :unread)? total : i.num_results_for(:labels => [label, :unread])
printf "%20s: %6d messages, %6d unread\n", name, total, unread
end
puts "yay"

FWIW, there is some preliminary support for having multiple Sup buffers
sharing the screen. (There's a notion of focus, and x/y/w/h values for
each buffer.) If someone is very excited about having this behavior from
mutt, that's how I'd try and implement it.

That is indeed very exciting. Mutt's sidebar is actually very poor and
limiting. If this could
handle it with arbitrary splitting, this would be amazingly amazing.
Thanks :)
