This could somehow work, but Florian from Open Usability pointed a lot of problems, and we haven't been satisfied with the huge number of tabs either ("4 is just too many" is a recurring theme here). So we did a second try using a splitter:


This showed that actual code for experimenting is much better than just mock-ups. And it also showed us that we prefer this Kmail-like look - expect this to see in one of your next amaroK installs!
