I did exactly that.  Hooks (especially before-add-message) are your
best friends.

Why would you want to do that?  When sup is running, it polls
periodically for new mail.  When its not, why would you care?

You can think of sup-sync as parameterized way of doing what sup
itself does when it polls for new mail (only from sources that are
marked "usua", i.e. they are expected to receive new mail) and does
indexing.  Sup-sync comes handy when you start with sup and want to
index all the sources or want to restore a dump.  Other than that, sup
maintains index by itself by polling on start and periodically after
that.
