SyncNow for FreeScout

Force immediate IMAP synchronization for individual mailboxes on demand, using FreeScout's native fetch engine.

The Problem

In FreeScout installations with many mailboxes, the sequential fetch cycle can take several minutes to complete. This creates two common scenarios where waiting is not acceptable:

  • Time-sensitive emails: 2FA codes, password resets, and similar emails expire before the target mailbox is reached in the fetch cycle.
  • On-demand refresh: The installation runs infrequent fetch intervals (5–10 minutes or more) which works well for normal workloads, but occasionally a specific mailbox needs an immediate update — a client is waiting, an important email just arrived, or a deadline is approaching.

The Solution

SyncNow adds a "Sync Now" button to each IMAP mailbox. When clicked, it immediately triggers a full synchronization for that specific mailbox as a background process, without waiting for the general fetch cycle or interfering with it.
