I disagree, actually. What you call popups, I call buttons that have a secondary popup function. These buttons behave in exactly the same way as many of the buttons in Entourage: Clicking the button immediately performs the action (i.e. Send & Receive) but clicking and holding reveals a pop-up window with more options (i.e. list of accounts). I would simply add the down-arrow to the direct-right of the buttons so they appear the same as other Entourage buttons (clicking directly on the arrow immediately drops down the options).
