I'm not opposed to pushing those flags back to the IMAP server in principle, at least in batch mode (there's a tool that does that now for mbox, and I'm working on Maildir), but writing that code pretty low on my personal priority queue at the moment. > And another thing.

Current best practice for IMAP is to sync it locally with a program like offlineimap. That also speeds things up, e.g. when you open a thread with 100 messages, Sup wants to download them all at once, and IMAP is much slower than Maildir for that. -- William <wmorgan-...@masanjin.net> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
