You could download and store them locally with fetchmail. But (if you're
using IMAP) Sup makes fairly efficient use of its IMAP connection once
everything's been indexed, so you could just try it and see if it's too
slow.

If you're using fetchmail as above, you can filter with procmail.
There's also a patch on the sup-talk list which will allow you to do
programmatic filtering at message import time directly in Sup.

Currently you have to use an external program to deliver mail. You don't
have to install sendmail proper though. The Sup Wiki lists a couple
simple sendmail-style programs and the corresponding Sup configuration.

Known bug. Sorry! If you remove the SentLoader and DraftLoader lines in
sources.yaml, sup-add should start working.

Not currently.

It is reported to work under Cygwin.
