sup talk - May 2011 - Sup + offlineimap + Gmail

Hey guys,

I approaching an almost ideal setup for a good gmail integration into
sup using offlineimap. My offlineimap setup pulls all Gmail folders
(aka Gmail labels) into seperate maildirs. I found a nice startup-hook
for sup to add sources dynamicly:

Dir[ENV[''HOME'']+''/.maildir/gmail/*''].map do
|d|
  uri = "maildir:"+d
  log "Processing source #{uri}"
  unless SourceManager.source_for uri
    source = Maildir.new uri, true, false, nil,
[LabelManager.label_for(File.basename(d))]
    SourceManager.add_source source 
    log "Added source #{d}"
  end
end

This snippet of code checks for any directories in
$HOME/.maildir/gmail and adds them as a new source with the
corresponding label. This allows me to make changes in the gmail
web interface which will be reflected in sup.

Now there''s a small issue I encountered today. If I star a message in
Sup, offlineimap claims that it adds the ''S'' flag to that
message, but
this won''t be synced to Gmail for some reason. The other direction
(star it on my mobile phone or in the web interface) works fine,
i.e. the message can be seen in the ''Starred'' label in sup.

Is there any way to make this work?

Florian

Hello,

Are you sure that reading a e-mail from sup marks it as read in Gmail
after having executed offlineimap? Because this should not work,
apparently you are using sup 0.12.1 which does not support backward
synchronization. [0]

And by the way, starring a message in sup should update the
''F''
(flagged) flag not the ''S'' (seen) flag.

Cheers,

You are right. It doesn''t sync back at all. I will try to figure out
how to achieve this with the git version.
