I have two email accounts and would like the default tab "Get Messages" to be the "Get All New Messages" tab instead

I often forget to use the pull down menu on the Get Messages tab in order to click the Get All New Messages for both accounts at once. Is there a way to set the Get All New Messages as the default tab (rather than the Get Messages, which only pulls in messages for the default email account)? Thanks!

Chosen solution

It's a button, not a tab.

Get yourself a better button such as:

Whilst it's designed to get a subset of your accounts, you can set it to fetch all.
