Sync is not updating

Open Inboxes and look at the inbox's status line. An error or a Repair button means the sign-in needs renewing. Otherwise choose the refresh button, or ask your AI to sync that inbox.

Last updated

1. Check the status

  • Connected with "Synced 5m ago": the sync is working. Choose the refresh button to fetch now.
  • Syncing…: a sync is running. A large mailbox can take a few minutes. The page updates when it finishes.
  • Error or a Repair button: the sign-in stopped working. See Fix a broken connection.
  • Not connected: the inbox has no sign-in yet. Choose Connect.
  • Paused: paused inboxes do not sync. Choose Resume.

2. Messages you might expect but will not see

  • Spam and Trash are never synced.
  • Only the newest 300 or so messages per folder are kept. Older mail is reachable by search.
  • Only the selected folders sync: Inbox, Sent, and Drafts by default. Mail your provider files into other folders or labels is not included unless you ask your AI to add them.
  • A new Gmail inbox starts with 40 messages per folder and fills in over the next few syncs.

3. "Synced less than a minute ago"

If you choose refresh again right after a sync, we skip it because there is nothing new yet. Wait a minute.

4. Your AI sees old mail

Ask it to sync the inbox first: "sync my Work Gmail and show me what's new."

5. Your plan

If your trial ended or a payment failed more than 7 days ago, your AI loses access. Check Settings. See Update your card, cancel, or fix a failed payment.
