Subject: [sup-talk] inconsistencies and new user confusion
Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 16:33:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090512233303.GU28854@pimlott.net> (raw)

I'm making my second try at switching to sup (though the first was
pretty half-assed).  I'm in that state where too many things are
happening that I don't understand, so I need some clarification on how
things are supposed to work.  I'm using the mainline as of a few days
ago, where the last checkin is may 4.

There seem to be serious consistency issues.  For example, I applied a
label "cal" to a thread.  I press "L" to list labels, and it's not
there.  I sync the mailbox, unsure if this is needed.  (It shouldn't be,
of course--if it is, I hope this is intended to be fixed, perhaps with
the undo work.)  Now, "cal" shows up in the label list, but with a
message count less than the number I labeled.  At some point down the
line, after more activity, it gets the count right.

Similarly, I have now a mailbox in which I deleted a thread of 2
messages, then added a reply to that mailbox (from outside sup).  In my
inbox, I only see the reply, and the labels are "inbox".  Shouldn't the
thread always "stick together"?  If I switch to the "deleted" label, I
see the expected thread of three messages, but on all three the labels
are "deleted, inbox".  I had another case recently in all messages in a
thread had labels "deleted, inbox", but the thread still showed up in my
inbox.  Any idea what's going on?

Andrew
