[sup-talk] IMAP, labels, editors

[Lurkos <lurkos.usenet@gmail.com>]

Hello all!

It's quite a long time ago since I started to look for an e-mail
client with features like Gmail, and it seems that *sup* fulfill these
requirements.
First of all I would like to great all the contributors for their work.
However I have a couple of questions to better understand how *sup* works.

I've read in the latest History file that IMAP support is deprecated.
Are you going to drop it? I mainly use IMAP to read my e-mail boxes,
because I need to deal with them from different workstations (say:
home, office, laptop, etc.).
For this reason the local Maildir approach won't work for me.

Are the labels stored in a local database or also stored as flags via IMAP?
Of course the second choice would be much more beneficial for people
using e-mail from different locations.
What happens if a new message is added to the mail spool from another
source? Does *sup-sync* preserve labels already associated?

Is it possible to _delete_ a message via IMAP (say: mark as \Deleted
and then Expunge, using IMAP terminology)? According to your FAQ, it
seems that only mbox spools support a real delete process.

About message composition, do you have any recommended editor, given
the fact that I never used a lot Vi nor Emacs?

Thank for your help!
