Hi all,
I use Sup for a while to manage a huge quantity of emails (~1000 emails
per day, most of these are directly archived). In parallel, I have a
cron job which remove (in my maildir) old emails and then do a sup-sync
to update Sup index each day.
But I notice Sup does not remove the correspondent entry from his index
after sup-sync (even if I use --discard option).
It is problematic for me because the Sup index contains now about
310,000 emails and the .sup/xapian/ directory takes about 4.4 GB disk
space !
Is there a way to really remove emails from Index (and not mark them as
'deleted') ?
Thanks for your help !

I have been through exactly that about ten minutes ago to get rid of
>40k index entries in my sup setup. Good timing! ;)
What I did:
* stopped the periodic polling of my offlineimap, just in case, to keep
the sources from changing.
* made a backup of my .sup/ folder, just in case.
* created a label dump file using sup-dump.
* deleted the .sup/xapian folder.
* run sup-sync with the --restore option, pointing to the dump file.
The index was re-created from the dump file, but only taking into
account the files that were currently available from the sources. Worked
like a charm. Better, in fact, since charms don't work at all. Ahem.
Yes, it would be great if there were a less convoluted way to do this.
Cheers,
t

Yeah, but I receive too much cron output emails and other boring
automatic daily reports, so it's easy to reach this value ;).

Ok, this should be a good hack if I do this operation occasionally, but
I can hardly automated it…
But thank you anyway!
