User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13

The "Get Mail" drop down selection "get all new messages" only polls email accounts and RSS feeds.  Although one or more news server accounts may be listed in this drop down, selecting all new messages does not poll for headers.  Many add on button mimic the same behavior.  

All should include all accounts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Drop down "Get Mail"
2.Select "get all new messages"
3.
Actual Results:  
Only polls for new email messages and RSS feeds.

Expected Results:  
Poll for new email messages, RSS feeds and news server for new headers. 

Initial response will be it's designed this way, hence the word messages.  OK, RSS feeds are not messages, but "posts" more similar to news posts.  Get all functionality should be *all* IMHO.
