What I was actually thinking of was to modify the menu, one of two approaches. One is to make the File/Get New Mail either open a next level menu with "All mailboxes" as the first choice, and then a choice for each mailbox, or to have a "Get New Mail" menu item under the "Mailbox" menu. The issue with adding a button near the "Enable..." checkbox is that it's still a bunch of extra clicks to get there. Additional question - other than for the scenario I just described, what was the "Enable check ..." box initially designed for. Unless you have a rather complex entry, it's not too much different from just deleting and re-adding the mailbox. I'm certainly happy to have anything at all in the short run, with more elaborate options deferred for when someone has more time.
