Actually, no. Cornelius, Till and me discussed this a bit on irc and we 
agreed that the new dialog isn't really an improvement of the current 
one.

Some reasons:
- The user can't sort by first name/last name/email address. In the 
current one the user can at least sort by display name and email 
address. This is a very often requested feature so I don't really want 
to loose it again.
- Putting two listviews next to each other isn't really possible because 
if the dialog fits on 800x600 then the listviews are much too narrow.
- The usage of three listviews for To/Cc/Bcc is insane. Cornelius 
intends to write a new Mozilla/Thunderbird like widget for this (cf. 
http://cornelius-schumacher.de/addresseeselector1.png).

During the discussion we also came up with the great idea not to use a 
dialog but instead to simply use the overlay widget technique known 
from the progress dialog in order to show the addressee selection 
inside the composer (directly below the address widget, overlaying the 
Subject field and the text field). We'll finish the implementation in 
Osnabrück.

Regards,
Ingo
