Under the File menu, I can select Get Messages for all accounts, current account or select an account.

When I add the button to the toolbar, I can use the drop down and get all accounts or select an individual account.

My question is if I just click the "Get Messages" button in the toolbar (not use the drop down arrow), does this get new messages for only the current email account or does it get all messages for all accounts? It looks like it only does the (current) selected account.

Is there an option so when you click "Get Messages" button (not using the drop down) it checks all messages?

I did find and Add On the provides the option of adding a Send & Receive button that looks like it defaults checks all accounts.

Thank you.

Shawn

I use this add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/thunderbird/addon/get-selected-mails/

which lets you set up groups of accounts to fetch, along with a default and multiple options in the toolbar.
