Alternatives to offlineimap to store mail in mbox/maildir include getmail
(which is what I use) and fetchmail.

sup's keybindings are modeled largely after mutt's, and not really modeled
after neither vim nor emacs, so you don't have any benefits in learning
how to use sup if you already know how to use vim/emacs (or vice versa).
sup has a setting where you can change your preferred editor. As far as I
remember, the tool that initially writes the configuration (`sup-config')
defaults to vim.
Personally, I use vim with mail-syntax-hilighting.
