thunderbird update changed menu bar and no longer has Get Messages for individual email accounts, only one for all accounts which does not work
thunderbird update changed menu bar and no longer has Get Messages for individual email accounts, only one for all accounts which does not work. I now have to go to File/Get Messages For/individual account. I want to have this be on the one click menu again like before the update

The 'Menu Bar' is exactly the same as before, but when enabled, by default it is located below the new 'Unified Toolbar'. If you do not like this then you can move to above the Unified Toolbar. You will need to use the instructions at this link:
The 'Mail Toolbar' has been completely removed and replaced with the 'Unified Toolbar'. When you first see the new 115*, the 'Unified Toolbar' will only contain the Global Search. This means you will need to 'Customise' that toolbar - eg: add 'Write', 'Tag' etc To customise right click on Unified Toolbar and select 'Customise'
Here is a link you may find useful:
Currently, the 'Get Messages' which you can put on the 'Unified Toolbar' only gets messages for all accounts. But people have been asking for this to be improved because it only gets for all accounts.
The 'Folder Pane Header' toolbar also has options: click on the 3 dot icon and select 'Show Get Messages' This will display a cloud-like icon. Right click on that icon and there is an option to select the account.
People are also asking for an improvement to this icon - eg: add text 'Get Messages' and also show the down chevon icon so people know there is a drop down option.
Hope this info helps.
