I would like to have a text label on or in place of the Get Messages icon in the tree header.

I found this suggested procedure: 1. Right-click on Toolbar 2. Select "Customize" 3. Select desired choice in "Button Style" 4. Select "Get Messages" 5. Click on Save

Nothing happens!

I asked this in alt.comp/software.thunderbird and received several conflicting replies, none of which resolved the issue.

Button style affects all buttons; you can't select them specifically. 'Text only' works for me on TB 149.0.2 and 140.9.1esr.
