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. -- Joel Esler | 302-223-5974 | gtalk: jesler at sourcefire.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(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. -- William <wmorgan-sup at masanjin.net>

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. -- Joel Esler | 302-223-5974 | gtalk: jesler at sourcefire.com
