Hey, I got sup to work finally. It took me a while because xapian and xapian-full weren''t playing well together. I feel like just dropping it for a couple months was really good because it feels like the two libraries took that time to work out their differences and come to an agreement. Now, it''s time to add sources. But sup has changed since I last used it! I read my email from four IMAP boxes. In my experience, IMAP is incredibly shitty and servers bug out all the fucking time and they just kinda do whatever they want. According to the source code, William has a similar sentiment. Despite my frustrations with it, I was still surprised not to see an IMAP option for sup-config. What''s the recommended way to read my IMAP mailboxes? Thanks, Ari Brown

They provide the same functionality (ruby bindings to xapian). One (xapian) links against system xapian lib and you need it (+ xapian devel stuff if packaged separately) installed and the other (xapian-full) comes bundled with (as the name suggests) full xapian and doesn''t have external dependencies with respect to it.> What''s the recommended way to read my IMAP mailboxes?You use an offline synchronizer to pull mail from IMAP to local Maildir storage.
