Option to fetch mails immediately gone?
Wasn’t there a 'refresh' button next to fetch folders to pick up mails immediately from external accounts? 🤔 Seems like this option is gone since there is now the three dots menu (which doesn’t contain 'fetch now').
Am I missing something? |

I don't remember any explicit fetch button. I always clicked a folder to initiate a fetch in the main mail window.
Clicking a top level folder (e.g., inbox) will cause a fetch of all of the Mail Fetch entries selected for every 5 minutes. For folders associated with Mail Fetch entries to be fetched only when refreshed then you have to click its associated folder. Last edited by xyzzy : 5 Jul 2019 at 05:07 PM. |

This blog post from 2014 might explain a little though not all of it is relevant now.

Thanks xyzzy and gj15!
Ah, I see – I just have to click a folder to fetch external POP links. Strange, I could swear this didn’t work for me earlier this day, but right now it’s all fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
