Sup is a console-based email client written in Ruby that is developed for people with a lot of email.

The main window in Sup reports the list of emails with the relevant information. Emails can have associated tags to help their arrangement.

Emails are organized in threads, which is the most popular hierarchical view of related emails. Moreover, labels can be used to further organize the emails.

A key feature for a program that wishes to handle "a lot of emails" is the possibility to quickly search the content and retrieve the results. The search engine is powered by the solid Xapian indexing library. The search can be performed on the full text of the emails, or can be restricted to the various elements: body, to, from, subject, and label.

Sup supports encrypted emails using GPG and automatically tracks recent contacts.
