I'd like to suggest two criteria for any enhancement: ctrl-M (or click on the toolbar's "Check" button) still retrieves 
mail for a user with a single POP server, and ctrl-M plus one other keystroke (Enter?) (or click on "Check" plus one 
more click) retrieves mail from all enabled POP servers when multiple servers are configured.

I believe that could be achieved with a dialog; not so sure about a submenu.
