How do I move a message to the inbox? When I try to add the label
inbox, sup complains: 'inbox' is a reserved label! 

Also, how do I mark messages as read other than reading it in a buffer?

Hi Matthias, pressing '?' at any time provides you with all key
bindings available.

> How do I move a message to the inbox? When I try to add the label

I usually do this by pressing 'a' (the same key binding is used for
archiving messages)

> Also, how do I mark messages as read other than reading it in a buffer?
Try 'N'

The 'archive' toggle controls the inbox label.  Use 'a' on a message
in the inbox to archive it.  Use 'A' on a message in the inbox to mark
it read and archive it.

> Also, how do I mark messages as read other than reading it in a

Use the 'n' key to do this.

Use the '?' key on any sup view to see the available key strokes and
their descriptions.

Which raises the question: why are there some special labels reserved by sup?
I don't see any disadvantages by making labels such as sent or inbox applicable
to messages by normal means.  In fact, I think the the current behaviour is
rather inconvenient.  Can anyone enlighten me?

Best regards,

Moritz

My main problem was getting used to the concept of toggling, i.e., using
the same key for different operations. Now I wonder how I missed them in
the first place!

I agree that it is sometimes desirable to use reserved labels. For
example, while I was loading my 100k+ messages into sup, I found some
messages of mine that slipped through the automatic labelling as sent
during the import, but I would still like to label them as such now.
