I am trying to implement a new source for Gmail accounts. This is copied
from my efforts to do the same in Heliotrope.

Here is an experimental implementation that can read the email from Gmail
and add it to the Sup index:

https://github.com/hsanson/sup/tree/gmail_source

To use:

  - Install leveldb gem "sudo gem install leveldb-ruby"
  - Add a gmail source:   sup-add gmail://usern...@gmail.com
  - Start sup and see how it syncs your emails.

Warnings:

  - This is experimental
  - This always syncs only the All mailbox so make sure to use an
     account with not too many emails for testing.
  - All email data and headers are stored in a LevelDB database at:
       ~/.sup/gmail/account

Help:

  - How do I stop the source poll when I quit sup? If I have a large amount
    of emails when polling is running and I quit sup the process hangs
there.
    Does sup has a mechanism to stop the polling in progress?
  - For some reason I get duplicate "Inbox" and "Sent" labels in the list of
    labels and I am not sure why.
  - I still have no clue on how to handle sync-back. That is how to
propagate
    changes made in sup back to Gmail. Any tips on how the maildir source
    does it would be appreciated.

regards
Horacio Sanson
