Deleting a previous Email Sync
Up until 0730 hours on 05/26/2022, my EmailSync was functioning with expected behavior. Then, it just stopped syncing. I changed nothing. I went through this b.s. in late 2021, costing me hours and hours of engaging email I'd already dealt with, sometimes years before.
I was advised at the time the issue, while same email address, was due to the new sync now being PipeMailer instead of Nylas. Okay, I can sympathize with that. But this time, it's all PipeMailer as that sync picked up all of whatever, and I mucked through the hours of linking Deals (AGAIN!), and so forth.
Now, this ordeal becomes a reoccurring nightmare as opposed to a 'bad dream'.
All I need is the following:
- The sync which started on 05/26/2022 & one I started yesterday (05/31/2022) could be cleared.
- It is my understanding this would revert my EmailSync back to the previous sync of [whatever was PRIOR 05/26/2022]. {when everything was working perfectly, without issue, then stopped, I reached out, etc., BEFORE 'Support' advised for me to clear cache, cookies, disconnect it (then current sync), reconnect it (then current sync), and if that didn't resolve it, start a new sync, but failing to advise about the selection below in the same screen which dictates how far back one wants the new sync to go.}
- A new sync could be started to capture all 'new' mail items/activity on or after 05/26/2022.
Why is this not possible? I've been a User for five years. In that time, I encountered some issues between our Host (Rackspace) and Nylas in the past, which eventually got resolved by different credentials for being a Hybrid Exchange seat than its regular Webmail service.
As it stood at 1105 hours yesterday, I had 2480 mail items in my Inbox in Mail and 30 in my Inbox in my native app. That is a direct result of two new syncs that were triggered by doing 'the usual dance' as I call it. Clear Cache, Cookies, stand on one foot, go Incognito mode, wait a bit, if that doesn't resolve, Disconnect the current active sync, wait a bit, then Reconnect. And if all of that doesn't resolve, add a new account."
https://support.pipedrive.com/en/article/how-can-i-set-up-the-email-sync shows a validation of 05/22/2022. But I'm being told it is not possible to just initiate a new sync and choose '1 month ago', even directly by Engineering.
In my mind, all Deal linkage, archiving, sent items, etc. prior to 05/26/2022 would be preserved, having already been involved with a 'good sync'. Then, a new sync could be initiated which captures T minus 30 days.
How and Where am I incorrect here?

You should reach out to support to help resolve this.
Maybe there is something they can do from the backend to help resolve.

I appreciate your reply. A review is already underway by a team member who specializes with the EmailSync product. (I just don't want you doubling up internally. My post here was directed more at the experience of other Users.)

I have and been engaged there since 05-26-2022. But, yes, certainly remaining optimistic an astute engineer in that area of product support can assist.
