I'd just like to mention that the reason we tend not to sync back in general isn't because we hate standards and want people to get hurt :) It's roughly because of the extra features in sup: - It keeps a database so it can search for stuff quickly - It implements its own tagging regardless of source (unlike stuff like mutt that just rely on "physical" folders) - It merges sources So while it's possible to do some merging back, it's sometimes awkward because sup's tags do not have to map 1:1 to IMAP folders or anything else. It's otherwise also a bit awkward because we might have mail from many sources in one place, so writing back isn't as simple as just editing files. You also have to _not_ edit files. Anyway, that all said, it's clearly possible and would be very nice to have. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp.
