  11                 <h1>Sup</h1>
  12
  13                 <p>
  14                 Sup is a console-based email client that combines the best features
  15                 of Gmail, mutt, and emacs. Sup matches the power of Gmail with the
  16                 speed and simplicity of a console interface.
  17                 </p>
  18
  19                 <p>
  20                 Sup makes it easy to:
  21                 </p>
  22
  23                 <ul>
  24                         <li>
  25                         Handle massive amounts of email.
  26                         </li>
  27
  28                         <li>
  29                         Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across
  30                         different machines), IMAP folders, POP accounts, and Gmail
  31                         accounts.
  32                         </li>
  33
  34                         <li>
  35                         Instantaneously search over your entire email collection.
  36                         Search over body text, or use a query language to combine
  37                         search predicates in any way.
  38                         </li>
  39
  40                         <li>
  41                         Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a
  42                         particular account will use the correct SMTP server, signature,
  43                         and from address.
  44                         </li>
  45
  46                         <li>
  47                         Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to
  48                         handle certain types of text within messages.
  49                         </li>
  50
  51                         <li>
  52                         Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
  53                         recent contacts, and much more!
  54                         </li>
  55                 </ul>
  56
  57                 <p>
  58                 The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
  59                 everywhere.

  81                 <h2>Status</h2>
  82
  83                 <p>
  84                 The current version of Sup is 0.0.8, released 2007-04-01. This is a
  85                 beta release. It is unix-centric and has no i18n support. It supports
  86                 mbox, mbox over ssh, IMAP, IMAPS, and Maildir. It does not support POP
  87                 or Gmail. I plan to fix all of these problems.
  88                 </p>
  89
  90                 <p>
  91                 Other than those limitations, it works great! I use it for my everyday
  92                 email, and it makes dealing with 85,000 messages a breeze.
