Thunderbird mail synchronisation

[Jimbov]

Hello Thunderbird Development Team,

I'd like to suggest a simple but useful improvement to Thunderbird.

A dedicated "Synchronise Now" button.

Clicking it should immediately force a complete IMAP synchronisation across all configured email accounts, including:

• New and deleted messages

• Read and unread status

• Moved messages and folders

• Changes made on other devices, including mobile phones

The existing "Get Messages" function doesn't make it obvious whether all these changes have been synchronised.

A single, clearly labelled button would make Thunderbird much more intuitive and eliminate the uncertainty of waiting for changes to appear.

Sometimes the simplest improvements make the biggest difference.

Kind regards,

A Thunderbird user in Yorkshire, England
