Better default toolbar setting

1. the less icons, the better (all other things equal)
2. it'll enable me to claim that icons don't need text under them

(on that note, you haven't answered that yet: If the Oxygen get/reply/forward 
icons are indeed easily distinguishable, then do we need text under them?)

No.
Document modification depends on the user -> the user should choose when to 
save. OTOH receiving mail doesn't depend on the user -> the user shouldn't 
choose when to check mail in. It's important to note that saving at the wrong 
time to save (or not saving at the right time to save) can lead to data loss. 
Therefore interval saving isn't adequate by itself.

Then you're probably lucky, dunno. Do we want to rely on that?

Yes, but isn't its effect minimized by displaying the tip I mentioned?

I'm not keen on these buttons either. Feel free to file a bug for ditching 
them.
