Thanks for explaining. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours to search for more details about *sup*, *notmuch* and *offlineimap*. What I still have not completely understood is how *sup* is going to store label information inside Maildir sources. According to this message (http://lists.madduck.net/pipermail/mailtags/2007-August/msg00016.html), IMAP tags would not be perfect (even if probably the best solution in my opinion). Another problem is that is not completely clear if *offlineimap* would sync also these "special" tags. > AFAIK sup will not reintegrate IMAP support, I > think the main reason is because of the poor and slow IMAP support in > the ruby libraries. If ruby libraries don't support some feature that you need, it would be reasonable to drop IMAP support. However if the only problem is the speed, I would keep it, at least for now. > Indeed you have to download all your e-mails but since I use sup only > on one machine this is not very annoying plus it allows me to backup > my e-mails and access them *offline*. Therefore the only possible solution seems to have a personal server running 24/7 and using *sup* via *ssh*.
