Sync On Arrival is a Thunderbird extension that instantly downloads new message headers as soon as fresh items are detected on the server.
Sync On Arrival is an extension designed for Thunderbird users who want to download new message headers immediately as soon as new items are detected on the server. This feature is not available in the "download_on_biff" preference, which promises to deliver immediate downloading but falls short. The normal behavior of Thunderbird is to download message headers only when the respective folder is opened, making it harder to keep Saved Search folders updated in IMAP accounts.
The extension offers an additional benefit for users who have a Saved Search configured to show all unread email. This feature proves quite handy as it keeps the folders up-to-date, even if "search online" is not checked. The extension is compatible with Thunderbird version 1.0-1.5.0.*
The recent release has fixed several incompatibilities with other extensions, which was initially affected by Mozilla bug 174320. Additionally, a new feature has been added that enables users to troubleshoot some IMAP servers that only download the first message body when moving or copying several messages. This feature was requested by Ketil Lund, who helped develop the updated release.
Lastly, the updated release includes a new "Report a Bug" wizard that is available from the "Options" dialog. It is designed to encourage users to write bug reports when something's not working correctly and help report this information in a convenient way that is useful to the development team.
