Strings are frozen. "frozen" = We promissed translators that strings won't
change in 1.4.6. If squirrelmail.pot is updated, it will extract new
string and number of strings will change. Dutch translation will go from
100% to 99,91% and translator will have to update translation one more
time in order to get full translation.
