- preferences.

+ Templates options are now presented in a tabbed layout.

- Templates.
+Address Book: Added duplicate finder, '/Tools/Find duplicates'.
+ It is now possible to set an image for each contact. Pictures

-* Added an "Open last opened folder at startup" option to the
- Summaries page in the Prerferences.

- window" on the Summaries page to "Only mark as read when opened
- in new window, or replied to".

+ permits the previous behaviour.

+IMAP: Added a button on the Folder Properties General page to allow
+ users to discard local caches.
