  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.

  A perfectly good choice.
