Maybe do what Mozilla (Thunderbird or Seamonkey-mail) does :
A button which opens a list, with option of checking all sources, or 
each source individually.
Really handy if expecting an email from a particular source, as well as 
for testing.
(Thunderbird replicates it in the page for each source, Seamonkey in a 
common area.  Either way, checking any - or all - sources is always 
available.)
