Hello,
I am trying to use sup for the first time and am having some
difficulties. I currently use gmail, so I am trying to add it as a
source. The new user guide[1] states that I could use either
sup-config or sup-add to add an IMAP source, which is what I have
tried. Unfortunately, sup-add refuses to recognize imap[s].
[davidjh@nyx (master; ruby-1.8.7-p302)] ~
$ sup --version
sup v0.11
[davidjh@nyx (master; ruby-1.8.7-p302)] ~
$ sup-add --help
Adds a source to the Sup source list.
Usage:
sup-add [options] <source uri>+
where <source uri>+ is one or more source URIs.
For mbox files on local disk, use the form:
mbox:<path to mbox file>, or
mbox://<path to mbox file>
For Maildir folders, use the form:
maildir:<path to Maildir directory>; or
maildir://<path to Maildir directory>
Options are:
--archive, -a: Automatically archive all new
messages from these sources.
--unusual, -u: Do not automatically poll these
sources for new messages.
--labels, -l <s>: A comma-separated set of labels to
apply to all messages from this source
--force-new, -f: Create a new account for this source,
even if one already exists.
--force-account, -o <s>: Reuse previously defined account user@hostname.
--version, -v: Print version and exit
--help, -h: Show this message

Checking the source, it seems adding imap sources was removed around
February, in commit 5bb1b3a29bc434c006ce0f4886059de3fa0d9801. There
is a brief note about using offlineimap, but not much more.
Is it possible to add gmail as a source in the current version of sup,
and if so what is the recommended way of doing this? I am quite happy
to RTFM if somebody could kindly point me towards the FM I must R. It
is fine if the answer is IMAP is basically not supported, but if I
read up on offlineimap I can find a way to get a non-imap (mbox,
maildir?) interface, but at the moment it feels as if I am just going
in the wrong direction.

My understanding is that IMAP is not supported any more by sup (I've
never used IMAP sources, so I could be wrong about this).
I use both Gmail and MS Exchange with sup, using fetchmail and
maildrop to fetch the mail and store it locally. (I use msmtp to
send mail.)
I tried offlineimap for a while. I know it's popular, but I abandoned
it because I was having problems with messages being moved from one
maildir to another. I was definitely having this problem with
Exchange, and it seemed to be related to deleted messages. I can't
remember if I was having this problem with Gmail; probably not.
In any case, fetchmail and maildrop seem very solid. They don't give
you the ability to sync changes back to the IMAP server, but I never
needed that feature, and my understanding is that sup doesn't quite
support that yet anyway (or maybe it's experimental?).

You can have a look at http://anirudhsanjeev.org/temp/supsite/ which explains
how to set up sup with gmail.
Best regards,
Michael
