I've also just started with sup, and though I don't know about sup's
behaviour (I think it should be moving mail from new/ to cur/ as well)

I do, however, have experience with POP and Maildirs, and it sounds like
you might have getmail misconfigured.  Is it set to delete messages from
the server?

Cheers,

Eric
