Steps to repro:
1. Install and setup a mail account with Thunderbird, in this case mail account is a gmail account
2. Download the Get all mails 1.0.9 add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4856
3. Install it via Tools -> Add-ons -> Install and then restart Thunderbird.
4. The Get all mails icon doesn't appear on the Toolbar.
This Add-on was necessary when I was trying to retrieve all my old mails in Gmail account, since I have set the Thunderbird recently. Please let me know if any workaround is possible to retrieve old mails or any other Add-ons will do the same.

Hi!
To get this extension working you need to add the button to the bar.
Right click the toolbar, select the only option, find the button in the window and drag it to your toolbar.
Can you try this and confirm wether it works or not?
Regards
Chris
