Package: sylpheed
Version: 2.5.0-2
Severity: minor
'Get' and 'Get all' tooltips:
Incorporate new mail
Incorporate new mail of all accounts
Suggested revisions:
Fetch new mail
Fetch new mail from all accounts
'Get' instead of 'fetch' would be OK.
Hope this helps...

"Incorporate" may be uncommon in English but not circumlocutious, it's just
a different word for the same idea, and it's a single word.
I'm sorry but I don't think using different words in tooltips for
describing actions which buttons do (which BTW is already labeled "Get"
IIRC) is a bug. I'd rather say it's better than repeating the same word: a
user who waits for a tooltip in a button labeled "Get" deserves a better
explanation/definition for "Get" than "Get ..." again.
regards,
