Hi,
I'm trying out sup and I totally like the concept so far, unfortunately it
doesn't work correctly for me.
1) It doesn't save its state. The next time I open it up, read messages
are new again.
2) when pressing c, to compose a new message, it asks for a Subject.
Later in vim I see the Subject field contains random characters instead.
3) Most input "dialogs" (?) can't be killed. Pressing ESC does nothing.
The only to chancel such an operation is to kill sup.
4) It behaves very odd when two clients are using the same imap account.
Yes, the docs state that, but not how to work around that when you
_have_ to use two clients. Currently I'm trying to use offlineimap,
unfortunately that's broken.
Thank you,
Arvid

Yeah, sorry, I replied to person accidentally while on handheld.
Thanks for forwarding.
Anyway, yeah, wish saving in sup was better. Don't really know
anything better than sup-sync.

Sorry, still takes a little to get used to sup. I have no clue what
was on and off list, but I assume this was off, so I'm going to repost
it:
> $ in inbox mode to save, or at intervals. does clean shutdown not do
> this automatically?
"clean shutdown" is one of the reasons I went away from Gui crap.
It almost never works for me.
I don't even know how to shut down a Linux computer "cleanly" other then
by clicking some button on some Gui menu, which I don't have,
so most Gui programs just crash and leave me next time with some
ridiculous "recovery assistant".
Sup does exactly that and it's highly annoying. It doesn't even work.
Why the hell are you trying to kill a non existent sup instance?
Maybe I should just alias sup="rm .sup/lock;sup"
End of rant.
So how do I configure sup to save automatically?
PS: the encrypt/reply to menu on the reply view is pretty cool :)

How are you quitting Sup?

Strange. Are they related in any way? Can you give an example?

Ctrl-g.

If you change the IMAP folder via another client, you'll have to run
sup-sync --changed on that source before running Sup. Sup should detect
this and tell you. What "odd" behavior are you seeing?

Clean shutdown has nothing to do with GUI vs not GUI.

It's hard to guess what you're doing here, but it sounds like you're
pressing ctrl-c to kill Sup and then pressing y at the "die ungracefully
now?" prompt. You may want to read the new user guide:

When this happened to me, they were absolutely unrelated, looked like
trying to vim a bit of a binary file...
But went away randomly a few days later.
