yes, another concern is that the interface itself becomes cluttred because
of the tab widget. But I think it is ok. The reason for this change was that I
noticed that the settings for send now/later etc are saved together with 
the network options in the current dialog (kmsettings)

Ok, noted.

At the momemt saving of data is disbled (in slotApply()) but when I save the 
identity data I only save the first identity.  There are missing entries in the 
object that stores the identity data. I need an identity (nickname) entry,
an inline signature entry and an entry which tells if the inline signature
should be used.  Would be nice with a flag if the signature file is a program
or not. I dont like that one have to append a special sign at then end of a
string.
