Title

Add Manual "Fetch Latest Email" Button in Krayin CRM to Avoid Unnecessary Scheduled Command Execution

Description

Currently, Krayin CRM requires the php artisan inbound-emails:process command to run every 5 minutes on the server to fetch the latest emails. This results in the following drawbacks:

• Users have to wait for up to 5 minutes before their inbox is updated.
• The command runs every 5 minutes even if the user doesn’t intend to fetch new emails, leading to unnecessary server load.

To enhance user control and system efficiency, the suggested improvement is:

• Introduce a "Fetch Latest Email" button in the Email section of the UI.
• When a user clicks the button, only then the inbound-emails:process command should be triggered.
• This makes the fetching process on-demand and reduces background job frequency, aligning better with user intent and performance optimization.

Preconditions

• Krayin CRM installed and configured with IMAP email sync
• Email fetching command (php artisan inbound-emails:process) is currently scheduled to run every 5 minutes via a cron job

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up email sync in Krayin CRM
2. Send a new email to the configured email address
3. Wait for up to 5 minutes to see it reflected in the CRM inbox
4. Observe that the fetch command runs every 5 minutes regardless of user action

Actual Result

• Emails are fetched only when the scheduled cron runs (every 5 minutes)
• Server load increases due to repetitive execution of fetch command
• No real-time update unless the user waits

Expected Enhancement

• Add a "Fetch Now" button in the UI under the Email section
• On button click, trigger the email fetch command instantly
• Stop unnecessary scheduled execution unless explicitly required
