Thanks very much for the tip.  This has been very helpful reading for me.

After reading in the style standards, then I can see that this is right fo=
r the 
Menubar  (and thanks for the suggestion about how to do it! I will try tha=
t).

But I think it would be better to use the contextual approach for the RMB.

At: 
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/mouse/index.htm=
l
 
It says:
   The RMB-menu contains the most important actions available for the    
marked object(s). 
That suggests to me that it would be better to only show those actions tha=
t 
are relevant for the object that gets a RM-click.  It is not a matter of h=
iding, 
but of only showing what is relevant for a clicked-on object.  Or have I 
misunderstood the standard?

Yes, I will do that (in a few days).  

Meanwhile, I posted another message in this thread that suggested that it 
would be better to make contextualized RMB for the draft and outbox folder=
s.  If 
I can get this question clarified, then I will include all those things in=
 this one 
patch.  Ok?
