By mistake I set kmail to display the three panes next to eeach other. First I thought: nice, more messages in the list and more of the body visible. As standard emails are not wider than ~80 letters, kmail did not even wrap the lines in the body. Then I thought: Damn, I cannot see the From field because the message-list is too narrow to display more than the subject.

No matter, whether one likes the view or not, it should be usable. Thus it would be very useful, if one could have more than one line for each message in the message-list. This way the subject could get one, the sender could get one and size, date and attachment could also get one.

Same for the quick-search bar. The text-field gets too small because of the status drop-down menu. If they would be put in two lines, this would help a lot.

The only thing that really is a pain, would be the sorting, as it would look a bit weird, to have the current column-headers one clicks on, without any column below them. Yet maybe one could simply have them as "buttons" at the top of the list.
