Hi,

This is my first real email with sup! I configured sup to work with my
Gmail(hosted apps) account as follows:

1. Offlineimap fetches email and saves to Maildir (I am behind a very
   slow connection, I need to mirror email)
2. The appropriate Maildir is added as a source in sup. Specifically,
   the Gmail.[All Mail] Folder, which has "cur".
3. I configured msmtp to be used for sending email instead of sendmail.

So far I can read all my emails, and the experience is great. I have a
few minor questions:

1. When I send email via sup, I see the same email as an unread message
   in my Gmail web frontend in the Inbox folder rather than the sent
   folder.
2. Any changes in sup aren't reflected in my web frontend. I am guessing
   this is a problem with my offlineimap configuration. Deleting or
   archiving an email doesn't change anything in the web client.
3. I am unable to work with the drafts already existing in Gmail and the
   web interface is unaware of the drafts I have here. A suggestion on
   how to fix this would be awesome!.
4. Any other suggestions on how to make the experience with offlineimap
   would be awesome! I initially used offlineimap's imap server
   mirroring feature, but I found putting the emails in Maildir format
   made it a lot easier.

I've pasted some of my config files here:
1. My config.yaml - http://antileet.pastebin.com/m3209dc32
2. My sources.yaml - http://antileet.pastebin.com/m6fc935ee
3. My .msmtprc - http://antileet.pastebin.com/m564eafc3
4. My .offlineimaprc - http://antileet.pastebin.com/m3ac306b6

Please help me get sup working! This is exactly what I've been looking
for. I promise to write up a detailed tutorial for the Wiki if I can get
it to work :)

Thanks,
Anirudh
