README

        # Sup

Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.



## Installation

[See the wiki][Installation]

## Features / Problems

Features:

* GMail-like thread-centered archiving, tagging and muting

* [Handling mail from multiple mbox and Maildir sources][sources]

* Blazing fast full-text search with a [rich query language][search]

* Multiple accounts - pick the right one when sending mail

* [Ruby-programmable hooks][hooks]

* Automatically tracking recent contacts

Current limitations:

* Sup does in general not play nicely with other mail clients, not all

  changes can be synced back to the mail source. Refer to [Maildir Syncback][maildir-syncback]

  in the wiki for this recently included feature. Maildir Syncback

  allows you to sync back flag changes in messages and to write messages

  to maildir sources.

* Unix-centrism in MIME attachment handling and in sendmail invocation.

## Problems

Please report bugs to the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/issues).

## Maintenance status

Sup is a mature, production-quality mail client. The maintainers are also

long-term users, and mainly focus on preserving the current feature set. Pull

requests are very welcome, especially to fix bugs or improve compatibility,

however pull requests for major new features are unlikely to be merged.

## Alternatives

If Sup is missing a feature you are interested in, it might be possible to

accomplish using Sup's [powerful hooks mechanism][hooks]. Otherwise, here are

some alternatives to consider:

* [Notmuch](https://notmuchmail.org/) was inspired by Sup. There are a wide

  variety of [Notmuch clients](https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/) available.

  The most similar to Sup's look-and-feel is

  [Alot](https://github.com/pazz/alot) — also a curses-based front end.

  Alot even ships with a

  [built-in](https://github.com/pazz/alot/blob/master/extra/themes/sup)

  [Sup theme](https://github.com/pazz/alot/wiki/Gallery#user-content-theme-sup)!

* [mu](https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/) /

  [mu4e](https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e.html). Like Sup, a search-based

  email back end, and also implemented using Xapian. The emacs-based front end

  [is quite different](https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Other-mail-clients.html).
