To check all accounts at once one has to press the drop-down and select "Get all
new messages".
Lots of people install a very old extension for a left-click button to check all
accounts, which should be default be available in TB in my opinion.

Wouldn't it be more consistant with current drop-down buttons (Security and Save
does on composition) to change left-click behavure to "Get all new messages"
when this options is choosen from drop-down?

Reproducible: Always

I had no idea those buttons remembered their last selection.  I say: that is 
bad, at least until such point as the dropdown indicates the item with a tick 
mark.
