It might not be fast or pretty, but should be easy. To sync an index
on computer B based on a dump from computer A, you should be able to
just:
computer B> sup-sync --restore <dumpfile from A>
That should both a) load any new messages from the source, and b) update
them with the labels from the dumpfile.
It's a little silly because you're transmitting the dumpfile for the
entire index back and forth between the two. If it were ordered, you
could just take a portion of it.
I've never tried this, but based on a visual inspection of the code, I
Guarantee It Works (tm).
