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!

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.
