Steps to reproduce:
I want to use the Fetch button on the top toolbar button to get messages for a single account. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/155u6bn/several_v115_bugs/
Actual results:
The Fetch button on the top bar gets messages for all accounts. Unlike v102, there is no drop-down menu allowing me to select a specific account.
Expected results:
Right-clicking on the similar button on the folders bar, allows me to select an account and fetch messages for that, but the folders bar may not be visible at all times. The top bar button should offer the same functionality as the folders bar button. Ideally, a down arrow on these buttons like that in v102 would alert the user of the possibility. With the current buttons design, it is not obvious the functionality exists.
I would support an enhancement for the 'Get Messages' buttons on both the 'Unified toolbar' and on the 'Folder Pane Header' toolbar.
On Unified Toolbar:
'Get Messages' button needs the drop down icon and the options to get messages for a selected account and Get all messages for all account.
On Folder Pane Header toolbar:
'Get Message' cloud icon needs the words 'Get Messages' and a drop down icon to indicate that it already has some hidden options currently only discovered if right click on button/icon to see a drop down menu. This is not intuitive. Menus/drop down options should not be hidden.

Yes please do a GetMessage Button like it ever was. The update from 112 to 115 made Thunderbird totally confusing, unintuitive. Narrow font, only icons instead of written text on the buttons. I am very unhappy. But what is really missing is the GetMessageButton for a single account. Without it, I can't use Thunderbird in a meaningful way anymore. Please change that or do an addon that fixes that problem
other "bug"? or at least something that isn't right
If I am inside a newsgroup, whit older Thunderbird, when get message is pressed, Thunderbird downloaded messages from only the newsgroup you were in.
But with thunderbird 115, get message download all messages from all subscribed newsgroups, creating a big mess with requests to download number of messages in multiple windows
the GET message BUTTON, it must NOT download automatically the messages of the news servers!
too otherwise it is a continuous of error windows or a request to download more than tot messages
