14 “I was previously intrigued by a gmail-styled
15 mutt-killer written in Ruby, but having actually spent a few
16 hours reading the docs, and trying out all the keys, and
17 reading the docs again, and trying the keys out again, and then
18 actually engaging in a bunch of practice usage runs, I now
19 officially can't fucking wait for the future of this thing; it
20 has my full attention.”
24 “Every other client we've tried is intolerable.”
28 “Sup is almost to the point where I could jump ship from mutt.”
32 Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.
33 It supports tagging, very fast full-text search, automatic
34 contact-list management, and more. If you're the type of person
35 who treats your email client as an extension of your long-term memory,
45 Handle massive amounts of email.
49 Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across
50 different machines), IMAP folders, POP accounts, and Gmail
55 Instantaneously search over your entire email collection.
56 Search over body text, or use a query language to combine
57 search predicates in any way.
61 Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a
62 particular account will use the correct SMTP server, signature,
67 Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to
68 handle certain types of text within messages.
72 Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
73 recent contacts, and much more!
78 The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds

104 The current version of Sup is 0.1, released 2007-07-17. This is a
105 beta release. It supportsm box, mbox over ssh, IMAP, IMAPS, and Maildir. It does not support POP
106 or Gmail accounts yet.
110 There are a few known bugs, but overall it works great! I use it for my everyday
111 email, and it makes dealing with 85,000 messages a breeze.
