That was actually the starting point of Martin, IIRC. I can imagine that 
it very much hinders productivity if this standard popup is permutated 
in each app.

Exactly because of this it should stay. An action SHOULD NOT (in the rfc 
sense) appear only in context menus.

One might argue that the whole config option in and by itself is 
superfluous, though. *ducks* ;-)

Oops, you're right. It ought to be there. Funny nobody saw this earlier.

Maybe rename it to "Find Messages..."? Just a thought.

Well, Konq's isn't any better. I can't think of an entry that should not 
be in there...

Do we already have the accel conflict resolver in place?

Patch:

- -  message = i18n( "Cannot move a parent folder into a child folder." );
+  message = i18n( "Cannot move a folder into a subfolder below it." );
? message = i18n("Cannot move \"%1\" to a subfolder of itself, \"%2\")
?    .arg( <parent> ).arg( <child> )

The icon for search message should be "mail_find". There's also mail_new 
etc. in HEAD's pics/

And what about the QPixmap pointers that never get deleted??? :-o
