Hi all
Ctrl+Shift+T did not retrieve the News and RSS Feeds. I had to manually right-click (or Ctrl+T) and get the feeds.
What am I missing, Ctrl+T? No it does the same for individual accounts
Do we have one short-cut does it all, send, receive, news, rss, etc.? It is not on the short-cuts pages in help.
Please advise.
Reproducible: Always

I have found that in my case this is specific to the pl-PL locale I am using.
Shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T is assigned to the action "Move again" under "Message" menu entry.
I have manually changed file messenger.dtd (in locale\pl\messenger folder of pl language pack) and now getting mails from all accounts works fine.
I am going to report this bug to Aviary team which is responsible for localization of Mozilla products.

Comment 1 is off-base.
Ctrl+T (or F5) always fetches new messages for the currently-selected newsgroup or RSS feed or mail account. Shift+Ctrl+T always fetches new messages for all mail accounts (only). There is no hotkey for Get New Items From All Feeds or Get New Items From All Groups.
It would be good to expand the File|Get New submenu (and the Get New Msgs toolbutton's menu) to add this feature -- just a single menu item in each, only enabled (displayed?) when a News or RSS account is selected. If *some* hotkey could be added -- Shift+F5? -- that would be excellent.
The workaround is to select the RSS or News account itself, rather than the feed or newsgroup, then type Ctrl+T/F5. For a news account, an additional workaround is to use the mouse to collapse, then re-expand, the account. (Using the right-arrow to expand a news account doesn't cause a refresh, see bug 359163 / bug 122006.)
Altho someone will doubtless request a context menu item for this as well, TB's context menus were stripped down starting with 1.5 and the Get New menu item was one of the ones to be removed. I don't think a new context menu is likely.

Unfortunately, in both cases you lost current position in tree/message list.

Sure, bug 87107 proves this.

Why? The more so in bug 359354 comment #1 you wrote (about adding context menu):
> This is almost certainly not going to happen -- in fact, the "Get New Items"
> context menu for mail accounts and newsgroups has been removed for TB 2.0 in
> an attempt to strip those menus down.
Strip?!!!!!!!! In TB 1.5.0.7 this menu contains 3 (three) items! I don't think 3 items it too much and should be reduced...

Shift-F5 gets all new messages in all accounts, F5 gets all messages in the current account. In addition, for feeds, F5 gets all messages for the subscriptions in the selected folder or folders (and all its/their subfolders) .
