    In Thunderbird's standard user interface, there is a button called
    "Get Messages" for the toolbar. The first option in this button's
    drop-down menu is called "Get all new messages".

    I would like a button with the "Get all new messages" feature that
    activates all my email and news accounts with one click.
    The feature itself is already in Thunderbird...

    I miss an update of that plugin as well (there's always a bunch of
    frustrations and time consuming fixes after each update of TB in my
    experience), but I'm curious what you mean when you say "the feature
    itself is already in Thunderbird".

    You mean it's built-in but not used?

    I like to have a button on the toolbar that does 'Shift+F5' after
    clicking it.

    Finally the add-on has arrived: "Get All Mail Button for TB78++"

    What does it do differently than clicking Get Messages > Get All New
    Messages from the Mail Toolbar? Only provide a button to save a step?

    Don't need it.

    Yes. I have replaced the "Get messages" button by this "Get All Mail"
    button, saving a mouse move and click every time I use it.

    Don't need it.

    Up to you

    What happens if you just click on the "Get Messages" button rather than dropping down the list and selecting either "Get All New Messages" or
    one of the accounts listed? I thought just clicking on the button did a
    the same thing as selecting "Get All New Messages". Is that not correct?

    What happens is it checks for messages in the account you are in currently.

    Clicking Get Messages > Get All New Messages gets messages for all accounts.

    I just set up the accounts to poll at different intervals and upon startup.
