I agree as well. The biggest problem facing me is that I have just
started taking care of the icons and, although I know tackat very well
personally, I evidently have no clue how he named the icons. It appears
that of the 162 icons that I removed, the ones that directly effect
kmail, are the inbox, outbox, and sent-mail folder icons. I actually see
a good reason to include these in kdelibs - there might be other
programs that use such icons.

So or so, the missing icons are being drawn as we speak, sort of :-)
