(Whiteboard: dupme?) 

In Mozilla Thunderbird (currently using v13.0.1), when you click the "Get Mail" button, it only applies to the account with the folder you are currently viewing. 

In order to retrieve mail from all accounts, one must click the down-arrow next to the "Get Mail" button, selecting "Get All New Messages" (among other options to only retrieve mail from each account)

I propose that there should be a separate "Get All New Mail" button in the "Customize Toolbar", which someone with multiple accounts can use instead of using "Get Mail" with the drop-down arrow (or clicking "Get Mail" while under each account's folders).

Aren't we changing the default behavior of this button to be get "Get All Mail" anyway?
