Bug#576793: icedove: "get mail" action is not available except via mail toolbar

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: icedove
Version: 3.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream


The actions of creating a new message, accessing the address book,
and tagging message can be done without using the mail toolbar.

However, I have not been able to find the "get mail" action in the 
menus.

It should be possible to perform the "get mail" action on the current
folder by a keyboard short-cut, right click option or other means 
*without* having to need to have the mail toolbar, which takes up 
a significant amount of space.
