Hi all,

I've been using sup for a few days now, and I have to say, I'm absolutely in
love with the concept!! I'm only getting used to archiving threads immediately
and trusting sup to bring it back up when something new happens, but my mail
processing has never been that efficient. Thank you very much!

There is one niggle though, that bothers me. I am using offlineimap to sync an
IMAP server with the local maildir that sup works on. That works rather nicely
for one direction (IMAP -> local), but when I work on my local maildir (read
mails, delete them, mark them as spam), changes don't get propagated back to the
server.
I think this might be due to the fact that my sup doesn't seems to move mail
from the new/ to the cur/ dir of mein mailbox and therefor never any flags
(Seen, Thrashed) are added?
This is quite unpleasant to me, since that means that the inbox on the mail
server (that other clients like a web mailer and a thunderbird at work use)
stays cluttered with the usual bunch of mails arriving.
So I enjoy being able to efficiently organize my mail when working from my box,
but everytime I am away from it and I therefor have to use another client, I am
presented with a mailbox that not only intermingles my legitimate mail with the
occasional spam getting through and the mail I already dismissed (deleted), it
not even has the mails I already processed marked as read.
This is a pretty huge deal for me.

I do imagine though that quite a few of you are using a similar setup. Can you
please tell me how you handle the situation? Why doesn't my sup add the correct
maildir flags? Am I holding it wrong? -.-

tia for you support!
