NAME

       sup-recover-sources - rebuild a lost Sup source configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       sup-recover-sources [options] [source uri...]

DESCRIPTION

       Rebuilds  a  lost  sources.yaml  file  by  reading  messages  from  a  list of sources and
       determining, for each source, the most prevalent 'source_id' field of messages  from  that
       source in the index.

       The  only  non-deterministic  component  to  this  is  that if the same message appears in
       multiple sources, those sources may be mis-diagnosed by this program.

       If the first N messages (--scan-num below) all have the same source_id in the  index,  the
       source will be added to sources.yaml. Otherwise, the distribution will be printed, and you
       will have to add it by hand.

       The offset pointer into the sources will be set to the end of the source, so you will have
       to run sup-import --rebuild for each new source after doing this.

OPTIONS

       --unusual
              Mark  sources  as  'unusual'.  Only  usual sources will be polled by hand (default:
              false)

       --archive
              Mark sources as 'archive'. New messages from these sources will not appear  in  the
              inbox (default: false)

       --scan-num N
              Number of messages to scan per source (default: 10)

       -h, --help
              Show help message

FILES

       $HOME/.sup/sources.yaml       Configuration file for Sup mail sources
