Hello All,
I'm using Sup to access email from my company's Microsoft Exchange
Server via IMAP (using offlineimap). My Exchange mailbox size
limitation is 1GB, so every once in a while I will move email from my
Inbox to a personal Outlook archive file that is stored on my local
machine. However, when I do this the emails that I archive get removed
from my local IMAP cache the next time offlineimap runs.
Is it possible to have Sup archive (or otherwise move) email messages
to a different IMAP source? I'm not so much worried about being able
to remove the messages from my Exchange account via Sup as I am
maintaining a local copy of all my email accessible via Sup. I can
archive them via Sup first then archive them in Outlook if that's what
it takes.
Please advise.

Thanks!
Bryan

Anyone have an idea about this? I'm really hoping Sup can be a viable
option for archiving emails...

I would recommend using fetchmail instead of offlineimap. That way
you are ensured that you have local copies of your email that won't
get deleted, no matter what happens on your Exchange server. I used
offlineimap briefly because so many people on this mailing list said
it was wonderful. But when it started deleting messages that
apparently other Outlook users had "recalled", I went back to
fetchmail.
I use fetchmail in combination with maildrop, which actually places
the emails in maildir directories. You can also use procmail instead
of maildrop, though its configuration language is a bit obscure.

Thanks for the responses Mark and Philippe. My apologies for not
realizing the fact that it's an OfflineIMAP thing and not a Sup thing.
I'll look into the capabilities of OfflineIMAP a bit more, as well as
investigate fetchmail and maildrop/procmail.
