I'd be interested to know how you get on.  A couple of things I've noticed
after using sup for a day or two:

* Gmail seems to store messages sent with its SMTP server so when a
  brand-new email is sent it appears in the inbox.  This is a bit annoying
  but I don't think that you can make sup store its sent emails in an IMAP
  folder.

* Sometimes I load a largeish thread and find that a thread has a red line
  with "message not downloaded" in it.

* Feature request: saved searches!

* Is there a way to make sup reply from the address an email was sent to
  (like Gmail does when it handles more than one account)?

* Sup is great but having to rebuild the index every time I use Gmail's web
  interface to send an email hurts :(.  Although I realise that's just the
  Way Things Are.

I'm really hoping I can start using sup full time though rather than Gmail's
web interface because it's so much more fun!
