I have been through exactly that about ten minutes ago to get rid of
>40k index entries in my sup setup. Good timing! ;)

What I did:

* stopped the periodic polling of my offlineimap, just in case, to keep
  the sources from changing.
* made a backup of my .sup/ folder, just in case.
* created a label dump file using sup-dump.
* deleted the .sup/xapian folder.
* run sup-sync with the --restore option, pointing to the dump file.

The index was re-created from the dump file, but only taking into
account the files that were currently available from the sources. Worked
like a charm. Better, in fact, since charms don't work at all. Ahem.

Yes, it would be great if there were a less convoluted way to do this.


Cheers,
