Working directly with GMail labels is probably a good idea (the other option is to move messages between IMAP folders). I have a design question though: Should remote sources be part of regular sup? Or should rather the fetching and syncing be put in a separate script which creates a LevelDB setup like you have it with a Gmail source in sup working directly on it? Recall that the IMAP source was removed in 52e29ba [1] (discussion probably on the mailinglist somewhere). I like this approach for GMail, but I would like to see it for regular IMAP sources as well with folders as labels.. I briefly experimented with a maildir-root folder approach [2] which treats all underlying maildirs as sources which correspond to a label (do not use, incomplete). It of course presents a plethora of questions on how to sync messages between labels, but implementing it is is probably relatively straight forward. > Help: > > - How do I stop the source poll when I quit sup?

This normally runs in a separate thread, I don't think maildir really stops the polling - so I sometimes get an error if I quit sup while the polling is running and various stuff just disappears underneath the poller. I don't have the chance to get into your other questions at the moment.
