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

My setup is similar.

It looks like in your sup config.yaml you're only using one of your two
accounts to send mail from. You're probably seeing messages sent from
anirudh@anirudhsanjeev.org in your andy@ninjagod.com gmail interface?
I would add the ninjagod account to your sup config.yaml and take a look at
the wiki [MultipleAccountsAndReply][1] and the reply-from/before-edit
[Hooks][2].

This is because sup is primarily concerned with its own index, and does not
at present manipulate its sources by default. Though there is
sup-sync-back which can propagate deleted messages or marked-as-spam back
to sources--it only supports mbox at present.
The fact that you're not seeing changes is not your fault--sup just doesn't
do it.

You could add your gmail drafts as another source to get them into sup,
though sup won't actually treat those messages as drafts and you won't see
sup drafts in gmail.

If sup actually manipulated its sources, you wouldn't have these issues,
but it doesn't. So aside from the missing account in your sup config.yaml,
I'd say your setup is fine and is working as it should.
Sup doesn't play well with other interfaces manipulating its
sources--you'll be doing the sup-sync dance a lot. I just stopped using
other mail clients with my sources and I've been happy ever since.
Good luck,

That helped, and my outgoing email seems to be sorted out. Thank you.

Oh, that's too bad. Are there any plans to support syncing with IMAP or
Maildir anytime soon? Either way, looks like I'll have to quit the Web
interface and Evolution cold turkey and stick with sup!
Since sup supports sync with mbox, is there any utility that takes IMAP
and packs it into mbox format, or maybe converts Maildir messages into
mbox?
Thanks!

Fetchmail for the first, and I think there's probably and md2mbox or
something out there for the second.

for the first, I've used fetchmail to do that:
: 576...; cat fetchmailrc
poll hostname.domain.com proto IMAP
user "jmason" pass "[your imap password]" is "jmason"
folder "name_of_folder"
ssl
fetchall
keep
no rewrite
expunge 100
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F /home/jmason/Mail/procmailrc";
: 577...; cat procmailrc
MAILDIR=$HOME
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
:0
$DEFAULT
and it'll append it all to ~/mbox.

hmm. apologies for the additional line breaks; a cut and paste bug
with Synergy. here's fixed versions:
: 576...; cat fetchmailrc
poll hostname.domain.com proto IMAP
user "jmason" pass "[your imap password]" is "jmason"
folder "name_of_folder"
ssl
fetchall
keep
no rewrite
expunge 100
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F /home/jmason/Mail/procmailrc";
: 577...; cat procmailrc
MAILDIR=$HOME
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox

$DEFAULT

Hi,
I wrote a small document describing how I got sup to work with Gmail,
since there isn't any "definitive" guide on it.
I really want some review and feedback on the text:
http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?GmailOfflineImapSmtp
Thank you,
Anirudh

I'm currently working on getting sup to support syncing back to maildirs.
I'm using a setup a lot like yours, with offlineimap syncing with an imap
server.
I've currently got a local branch that makes sup use maildir ids as the
internal sup id. I've almost got sup to the point that it will sync back
changes to a maildir. I have a few more bugs to work out, but I intend to
post a patch relatively soon.

Wonderful! I love you! :-*

Why would you need to do that? Afaik storing the maildir id to index
should be enough so that you can map sup index back to maildir. Am I
overlooking somethin here?

Yeah, there's a Maildir#filename_for_id that you should be able to use.

Using the maildir id as the sup id allows sup to play a little fast and
loose with the access of mail in the maildir. I've got a 15% speed increase
(measured by sup-sync --all). This also allows sup to play nice with other
mail clients accessing the maildir.
I'm down to the last few issues with my new maildir sync back code, I just
can't get sup to show me the deleted and spam messages. I'm working on the
next branch, and it seems like it might be having problems with ruby 1.8
that comes with F12 and I seem to be unable to get ruby 1.9 installed. Once
I get things working I'll publish the branch to github.

If you're going through index.each_message or each_id, you need to
specify :load_spam => true and load_deleted => true.

I'm using Redwood::PollManager.each_message_from source like sup-sync-back
uses. Looking at the definition of that function, it will load all messages
from the source without discrimination. I've put my repo up on github (
http://github.com/shenson/sup) with my code in the release branch. It
includes my code to change the source id to the maildir id. The code I'm
actually running is in bin/sup-clean.
As far as I can tell, I'm using the same basic structure as sup-sync-back,
so I should be getting back all the messages. If anyone wants to clue me in
on what I'm doing wrong, I'd be very grateful. Thanks.
