# Sync a mailbox now

`POST /api/v1/rest/email/accounts/{id}/sync`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.custodo.ai`
- URL: `https://api.custodo.ai/api/v1/rest/email/accounts/{id}/sync`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Triggers an immediate IMAP poll of one mailbox instead of waiting for the next scheduled one. Returns right away with `status: "queued"` — the sync itself runs in the background, so call email_list_accounts a little later to see `last_synced_at` move. Calling it again while one is already queued does not queue a second one.

**Examples**

- Check that mailbox for new mail now
  `POST /api/v1/rest/email/accounts/22222222-3333-4444-8555-666666666666/sync`

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `X-Tenant-Id` string, uuid

## Response `200`

Done. `data` is the tool’s own answer.

- RestResult
  - `ok` true, required
  - `data` unknown, required

## Other responses

- `400`: The arguments did not validate: `error.message` names the field, what it expects and what arrived.
- `401`: No API key, or one that is malformed, unknown, revoked or expired.
- `403`: The call never ran: the module is off for this organisation, the credential lacks the permission or the module, the tier does not cover it, or the tool is destructive and the key was not minted for that.
- `404`: Nothing with that id in this organisation.
- `409`: The record is in a state that does not allow it — under legal hold, already sent, already closed. `error.code` says which.
- `422`: The tool ran and refused, in a sentence of its own (`TOOL_REFUSED`): the message says what to change. Retrying the same call will not help.
- `429`: The API key has spent its minute, or its day. Every request a key makes counts. See `Retry-After`.
