It looks like Thunderbird updated itself a few days ago and the 'get new messages' (or 'get new mail') button has disappeared. 'F5' works, but I'd like the button back. Can do?

Chosen solution

It's in the folder pane, View > Layout > Folder Pane. If you don't want the folder pane visible, right-click the toolbar > Customize and drag the "Get Messages" button into the toolbar.

The "Get Messages" download button is located just to the left of the big blue "New Message" button.

Nuts, no big blue button visible here. I have version: 115.3.1 (64-bit) from Debian. Some configuration setting?
