Hey, I love sup. I first started using it ~ 0.3 with Gmail, but had to stop because Gmail was causing sup to crash unexpectedly (it also made it impossible to handle large amounts of email). But like I said, I love sup. I want it back in my life. I''m tired of being a wannabe command line junkie - I want to be a REAL command line junkie. Thus, I''m looking at my options again. I''m thinking of using OfflineIMAP. Apparently it''s fast (er than imap), and will allow me to send email offline (like offline git commits?). But how do I do this? How can I set it up?

How can I set it up?A couple people have done this, and it seems to be the only real workable solution to get reasonable speed with Sup. (IMAP''s fault, not Sup''s, IMO.) I''ve never used it personally, but there should be a couple people on the list who could give you pointers. Also check the archives; I believe it''s been discussed quite a bit in the past. -- William <wmorgan-sup at masanjin.net>

In the meantime I use GMail and OfflineIMAP and other than the occassional bug out from OfflineIMAP things have been working pretty smoothly for a couple of months. It''s much faster than IMAP, especially with my mua of choice: mutt.> and will allow me to send email offline (like offline git commits?).No, you still send mail using GMail''s SMTP server. It will sync back any changes you make to the folder structure though.> how do I do this? How can I set it up?I figured it out from this link: http://soren.overgaard.org/2007/12/15/backing-up-gmail-using-offlineimap/ Good luck! Paul

(IMAP''s fault, not > Sup''s, IMO.)I fetch GMail emails using POP (mpop) and then use sup with a single huge mbox. Most of the times performances are correct, the drawback being the lack of GMail back sync.

I''m confused as > to what "Sup as a Service" really means.Using the instructions linked in my previous email will allow you to use offlineimap to mirror GMail account locally in Maildir format. AFAICT, you could then use sup, which supports Maildir as a source, to read and search through your mail. Hope this helps, Paul
