That's possible! The "File => Get new mail" item and the associated "Check" toolbar button could pop up a dialog when multiple POP servers are configured, with a button for "Check all servers" and a list of servers for single-click checking of just one.

It *could* also have a check-box for each server, showing whether it is currently enabled for new-mail-checking, and perhaps another button for "Check all enabled servers". But perhaps with this fine-grained control over checking, the whole enabling mechanism could be scrapped.

Opinions?
