Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this.

I definitely am not sure why there's a deadlock happening, but I am
guessing, based on the line numbers in that first exception, that it's
being triggered by an underlying problem with the source. If you run
sup with -n, does that change anything? (Or produce a better exception?)

Well, there's a workaround, which is to switch over to an offlineimap
setup where your Gmail is mirrored locally and Sup reads the mirror
(which is what you want anyways if you're serious about using Sup with
an IMAP client). I don't know what's causing the deadlock, but I will
try and reproduce it on my end.
