As I am sure you guys are inundated with "OMG sup and Gmail!" questions,
I'll try and keep this brief.
Either using Gmail via IMAP or using Gmail via offlineimap (either with
sup), I have a bunch of labels that I let Gmail act as my "procmail" for.
(match on "x", skip inbox, apply label)
Obviously I'd like to be able to mash the "L" and see all these labels and
their unread counts, however, I am obviously missing how to configure this,
and I am sure it's quite easy. Heck, I don't mind if you guys RTFM me to
the right section of the 'manual', but please do.

I believe that Gmail exposes those types of things to IMAP clients as
IMAP folders with funny names. (If you see these messages in Sup's
inbox, then I am wrong about that.)
So the easiest approach to duplicate them in Sup is add each source by
hand as sup-add, and have Sup auto-apply labels when it sees new
messages in those "folders". (And auto-archive them.)
Unfortunately Sup's stupid URI syntax for sources combines very poorly
with Gmail's names for these types of folders, so you'll have to do
something horrible like:
sup-add imaps://imap.gmail.com/%5BGmail%5D%2FSent+Mail
sup-add imaps://imap.gmail.com/%5BGmail%5D%2Flabelname
etc., with the appropriate arguments to sup-add for auto-archiving and
auto-applying labels.
Anyone more familiar with Gmail+Sup, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, it definitely does. I had to migrate 300+ accounts out of gmail
via IMAP. If you're doing offlineimap for this task, I'd suggest
mapping each 'folder' to a separate Maildir and, if possible, use hard
links for messages that land in multiple 'folders.' An md5sum of the
headers is the heuristic I used to detect this.

Depending on the age and 'type' of account, you may also see things
like .../%5BGoogle%20%5B%2Flabelname.

I don't use sup for any of my gmail needs, this is all based on my
export experience.
HTH.

Ben -- Your key isn't verifying correctly -- btw.
I tried this on a couple folders. Sup can't load the 53000+ emails I have in one label. I'll have to stick with Mutt for now. But I like sup's concept of threading.
