Hamilton @ 2010-09-01 18:55 UTC (permalink / raw) To: sup-talk 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].

This may take a while... 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?). _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I am quite happy You can have a look at http://anirudhsanjeev.org/temp/supsite/ which explains how to set up sup with gmail.
