The check mail button is missing… How can I check mail manually if I don't have a check mail button? Let me guess, with the new OS, you decided we can just do without that feature...

Original Title: Check mail button missing

You had to go there? Really? If that’s what you think then dump your Apple gear and move on.

Meanwhile try going to Mail->View->scroll down to Customize Toolbar... and drag the Get Mail tool into the Toolbar. There never has been a Check Mail button in Mail, it’s Get Mail. You may have accidentally removed it from the Toolbar at some point. What vintage MBP and macOS version are you using anyway? You can also go to Mail->Mailbox->Get All New Mail, or hit Shift+Command ⌘+N to check for new mail. There’s three ways to manually check for new mail. Pick one.

So no, Apple has not removed the check mail button because they think we don't need one anymore.

You are not communicating with Apple in these user-to-user- forums. No one here works for Apple and Apple Support neither participates in nor monitors these user forums. We here are all just fellow users like yourself. You are spewing venom into the wind.

If you can't figure out how to check your email, try logging into your email provider's webmail page and check it there.
