CloseReviews for Easy Get Mail Button (NEW)
7 reviews for this add-on
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I just wanted to let someone know that, despite the extension being disabled automatically when TB is updated to v 6 and above, it still works. I know. It works with my TB v7.
So, if it ain't broke, what's the (real) problem?

I have often used this excellent feature in the past and would have given it five stars -- but now I find I can no longer use it, as it is "not compatible with Firefox 3.6". Will a new version of the button be released soon? I hope so. (Perhaps I shouldn't have installed Firefox 3.6.) It's very strange that Firefox removed this useful button in the first place.

Nice simple UI, but I think it needs one additional feature to make it exceptionally useful. It needs a feature to group or select which accounts one wants to 'getmail' (as you may not want s to collect email from all accounts)
Example: I use a smtp authorization account for all outgoing mails. But I do not want this to be checked for downloading.. Also I have some accounts that I only use on the road and normally do not want these checked.

I didn't really need the functionality it offered, but as others stated it fixed the fact the "get mail" button did nothing. Now it does!

Does what it says, no complaints.

Great add-on. Not sure why, but the "Get new messages" button didn't work in Thunderbird 2. Well, this add-on fixed that! A quick install and the button now works great!

For some reason, Thunderbird 2.0 would only check one mail at a time when I manually clicked on the "Get Mail" button. Very annoying.
I tried Googling and adding values to prefs.js, user.js, and in about:config, all to no avail.
Once I used this add-on, I can now check all of my accounts at once. Thanks, man!
