-A: Ok, at some point I plan to have a batch deletion tool that will
- run through a source and delete all messages that have a 'spam' or
- 'deleted' tags. But that doesn't exist yet.
-
-Q: I got some error message about needing to run sup-sync --changed
- when I tried to read a message. What's that about?
-A: If messages have been moved, deleted, or altered in a source, Sup
- may have to rebuild its index for that source. For example, for
- mbox files, reading a single unread message changes the offsets of
- every file on disk. Rather than rescanning every time, Sup assumes
- sources don't change except by having new messages added. If that
- assumption is violated, you'll have to sync the index.
-
- The alternative is to rescan every source when Sup starts up.
- Because Sup is designed to work with arbitrarily large mbox files,
- this would not be a good idea.
+A: Currently, for mbox sources, there is a batch deletion tool that
+ will strip out all messages marked as spam or deleted.

+Q: How well does Sup play with other mail clients?
+A: Not well at all. If messages have been moved, deleted, or altered
+ due to some other client, Sup will have to rebuild its index for
+ that message source. For example, for mbox files, reading a single
+ unread message changes the offsets of every file on disk. Rather
+ than rescanning every time, Sup assumes sources don't change except
+ by having new messages added. If that assumption is violated,
+ you'll have to sync the index.
