I think you're right about the stability, but that's a better question for William to answer. Wasn't aware of Sup, I've only seen him using Turnsole (https://github.com/wmorgan/turnsole) which apparently is derived from Sup.

Heliotrope is a personal email server. It provides all the functionality you want in a modern email client: - proper message threading - labels - fast, full-text search over all messages with a complete query language - support for signed and encrypted email - an extensible JSON-over-HTTP API Heliotrope is a backend service against which email clients / MUAs can be written. To use it, you must use a client. For an example client, see Turnsole: http://github.com/wmorgan/turnsole. WHY ANOTHER PROTOCOL? WHY NOT JUST USE IMAP? Because IMAP is terrible and you want all those features listed above. https://github.com/wmorgan/heliotrope
