Looks good. I’d just rename the "File" menu into "Account" and move the
"Remove" menu item to that menu.

And regarding the sync_button: I think the menu should not contain radio
buttons, because this suggests that this is a setting, instead of
directly triggering an action. And I think the more human readable
strings from MS are favorable to my hackish "refresh-from-server"
strings.
