[sup-talk] Google and IMAP

Woo :).

I now have sup set up with ssmtp and Gmail over IMAP and it seems to
be working fine - a few observations:

* Google has hacked together folder <->label translation.  Labels in
sup don't correspond to IMAP folders as far as I can tell, so I either
use Gmail labels or sup labels, not both.
* I've created filters in Gmail for mailing lists which automatically
archive and label incoming mail.  I can add an IMAP folder in Gmail as
a source to catch this mail, but perhaps I would be better off not
having Gmail filters altogether if I intend to use sup fulltime?
* Furthermore, due to having to rebuild the index when I use the Gmail
web interface, should I never use the Gmail web interface?
