This small Chrome-Extension adds a button/shortcut on the Gmail Website for easy and fast refreshing of all POP3 Email-accounts liked to your Gmail account.
Before you had to go into the settings and click the "Check mail now" link manually but this extension now does all this automatically.
To use it properly first navigate to mail.google.com/#settings/accounts and scroll down to "Check email from other accounts:". Here you will see the Email-accounts that are linked to your Gmail account together with a Button "Check mail now" (this may vary depending on your language). Copy the link text ("Check mail now" in English), click on the extension icon in the upper right corner, Click on the "Gmail POP3" extension, paste it into the "Your language" field, and press "OK". If you now navigate to mail.google.com you should see a gray Button with the Text "POP3" in the upper left corner, next to the Gmail logo. Pressing this, now should automatically go to the settings, click the required link and navigate back to the inbox page (This does not work reliably 100% of the time and it might get stuck in the settings page. Is this the case, just press the "POP3" button one more time and it should work).
This Extension is heavily based on the "Easily refresh all your POP3 E-Mail accounts linked to Gmail" bookmarklet by David Mohr (https://david-mohr.com/blog/bookmarklet-refresh-pop3-accounts-gmail) so all credit goes to him for the internal workings.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
