I've been using this wonderful add-on until I upgraded Thunderbird above version 3.01. I'm surprised that it was not included in Thunderbird, as it makes save a precious time when we use the fonctionnality of downloading only headers of the messages.Now, I'm testing it on a 3.0.6 version, it seems to work fine.
(tip: for installing it, I needed to overcome the error message which says that this plugins was not built for versions above 3.01. For doing this, I only had to edit the file "install.rdf" which is located in the add-on archive. There is a line:
<em:maxVersion>3.0a1</em:maxVersion>that I changed to:
<em:maxVersion>4.0a1</em:maxVersion>
That allowed me to install the plugin without any error message. Then, I downloaded a couple of messages whithout any problem)
Warning: this kind of modification is well know for using old plugins, but in some cases and for some plugins, it may lead Thunderbird to crash. Use it carrefully!

review of the icons to be perfect :
1- the big Icon is not available,
2- the text is a bit long (in icon&text)
best devlopement : be include into the original button 'get message' with the option 'by default'

This is one of the best Add-ons to male the work with TB faster and easier. I used it a lot before I updated to TB 3. Please release it to the latest TB version!

Has the right idea, but the button needs to be reformatted to occupy less real estate on the toolbar. Put the title /below/ the button icon instead of /beside/ it. Also the title could be shorter: "Get all new" instead of "Get all new messages".
