This change looks good.

Are you sure, that we really need a print action the in rmb menu?
At least I think we do not need that there. The rmb menu should not be a full 
copy the the main menu and the toolbar.

If yes, you need probably to emit a signal from the headers pane that you 
connect to slotPrint of the main window.

I think that too. But you should decide, whether you like "Edit" or 
"Edit...". I think the first one should be used for all actions.

In the code it would be best, if you use only action for both menues.

At least I think, that editing mails in the outbox is still sometimes useful. 
Especially since edited mails are taken out of the outbox since some time, 
there is no longer any problem with sending partially written mails.
