This brings a reworked folder tree and and a new message list, which is much more powerful than the old one.
New features include grouping, multiline items and the ability to customize just about everything of the look of the message list.
Also, we have a tabbed interface for opening more than one folder at once now.
An important aspect of the new message list is that drawing speed is now fast again (there was a regression in Q3ListView that
made huge folders a real pain to navigate, reading commit folders was not a nice thing to do).
There are probably more things which I forgot to list here.
Also, this is big step forward in getting rid of Qt3Support in KMail, now just some tiny bits are left.
Many thanks to SoC student Szymon Stefanek for his awesome work on his project! I can't stress enough how great this
achivment is. He even added very good API documentation to his classes :)
This requires the lastest version of qt-copy, otherwise you'll get mysterious crashes in Qt painting code from time to time.
We hope that this patch will be added to the next Qt 4.4.x version.
And finally, this merge also brings many regressions, which is not unnatural for such a big change.
In the remaining time before the KDE 4.2 release, we'll have to work on those to get it polished and regression-free.
Help here is always needed, and is a good opportunity to start working on KMail, since many regressions are low hanging fruit.
It also means the message list and the folder tree need a bit of testing.
If you find bugs, report them under the "new message list" and "new folder tree" component of the bug tracker, thanks.
I also plan to setup a wiki page with known regressions.

What does this patch do:
- QComboBox -> KComboBox
- QTabWidget -> KTabWidget
- QLineEdit -> KLineEdit
- QTextEdit -> KTextEdit
- Where KLineEdit is inserted, I explicitly called: setShowClearButton( true )
- Removed in some cases unnecessary includes from header files.
What does this patch not do:
- Fix the ui files
- Fix the QMessageBox -> KMessageBox in kmmessage.cpp I need to have a good
look to the KMessageBox API for that.
- Exhaustive cleanup of unnecessary inclusions.

only talk about "todo" or "to-do" in reference to calendar incidences.
a few config file keys still contain "todo" so that should be changed,
but will be done in another commit.
whoops! I should also check the kmail handbook.

if one needs context, all do, otherwise we don't know if we have to call i18n or i18nc

- Use QHostInfo instead of KNetwork
- Q3Accel->KAction
- many QAction->KAction, so the default shortcut appears correct
again in the configure shortcuts dialog
The port of Q3Accel to KAction has the side effect that the shortcut
to scroll the message up/down can now be configured.

Add a button to the quicksearch which opens up a full search based on the current
quick search parameters. Make opening a search via other means (keyboard shortcut)
honor the current quicksearch as well.

Search in the full mail by default, not the subject. That more closely reflects
what the quicksearch does.

- Don't crash when updating the toolbar icons
- deprecated--
- Replace some tabs with spaces
- In the toolbar and the quick search combobox, show the tag name without any prefixes because of the lack of space there
- Actually load the tag actions when KMail starts up
- Fix the toggled state of the actions, it was not updated properly
- Preselect the action category when choosing a tag icon

but since the difficult part is over, I hope I will improve it over time.
Currently it has the following features:
- Ability to tag emails (with possibly more than one tag)
- Changing the appearance of message headers (font and text color) according to the message's tags.
- Configuration of tags through a new tab called "Message Tags" on the "Configure KMail->Appearance" configuration page.
- You can add toolbar buttons for easy tagging.
- You can assign shortcuts to tags.
- Tagging through the right-click menu.
- Quick filtering using the combobox for "status" filtering. See the screenshot.
Some short-term todos:
- Incorporate Nepomuk
- A column for tags in the header view
- Incorporate Ellen's usability comments
Some long-term todos:
- Filter action for automatic tagging
- Searching based on tags ( which enables having 'tag folders' through use of search folders )
I'm sorry that I didn't have enough time to test my current commit completely. In the last two days, I have been constantly compiling
kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kdebase to keep up with very frequent changes. I finally was able to compile all at once:)

- removed the separate clear button from the quicksearch. Still drawing the pulldown menu over the searchline, but an expert needs to fix that.
- removed some deprecated calls (mimeName->name, constructors of recentfiles & toggleaction, action->dropAction)
- removed the delete mMailService from the destructor, it crashes for me. expert stuff ;-)

- extend the interface of the class to simplify it's handling
- partial port of existing kmail code to use the new class
svn path=/trunk/KDE/kdepim/; revision=474940
Fix at least one of the reasons for the infamous "suddenly the
headers list is empty", also known as the "QGArray::at: Absolute index
n out of range" issue, by making sure that the quick search is only
updated after a new list view item has been completed added, not right
after the KListViewItem ctor, where we don't have valid folder index
entries in the header list items yet, which the status quick search needs.
