Excerpts from William Morgan's message of Mon Dec 21 11:56:19 -0500 2009:

Yes, it definitely does.  I had to migrate 300+ accounts out of gmail
via IMAP.  If you're doing offlineimap for this task, I'd suggest
mapping each 'folder' to a separate Maildir and, if possible, use hard
links for messages that land in multiple 'folders.'  An md5sum of the
headers is the heuristic I used to detect this.

Depending on the age and 'type' of account, you may also see things
like .../%5BGoogle%20%5B%2Flabelname.

> Anyone more familiar with Gmail+Sup, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't use sup for any of my gmail needs, this is all based on my
export experience.

HTH.
