I called it 'manual poll' (of your 'Spam' folder), because 'refresh' is an ambiguous term in this context. Refresh *what*? It's nearly impossible to "pull down the notification shade", because you can pull down anywhere in the messages area, probably 70% or so of the screen. *And* there are two other ways to refresh, a - blatantly obvious - little button in the upper right and a menu choice in the upper right menu. Moral: (As I said it could do the job,) It would have been much simpler just to try the app, instead of 'delving' into the app's documentation.
