Re: [Evolution-hackers] Send/Receive in the Toolbar

["Carsten Guenther" <Carsten Guenther scalix com>]

Maybe the button does not need to be changed at all. I think swapping 
the two buttons "New" and "Send/Receive" would already help. I myself 
was confused too when using Evolution for the first time, but not 
because of the button label but because I expected the "Send/Receive" at 
the very left of the toolbar. IMO the "Send/Receive" button should not 
be placed between two message-related buttons (in this case "New" and 
"Reply").
