I resent my last one to the ML ten minutes after I sent it to you -- I
would have done that in the first place, but PEBKAC...

Well, I've added the settings I need to gui/. It occurred to me that
most if not all of the other settings are directly related to the
IMAP account -- so how to change it probably ties in with how it's
going to handle multiple accounts. It's going to handle multiple
accounts, right? ;-)

Well, to just split the window vertically into three is trivial (just
change the orientation of the splitter!), but it only really makes
sense if you have a different style of widget in the list view, I
think, with the subject above the autor name or something. Else it
becomes too wide.

KDELibs should definitely be avoided. I'll be on the look-out.
