Summary

0000100: too much copy & paste required setting up multiple things

Description

If I want to set up a new identity, I have to start my opening an old one and copying one of its parameters. Then I go through Add and use that copied value as a basic for new fields, pasting it in and editing it. Then I save the identity, open a previously defined one, copy another fields, go back to the new one and paste that in, and so on.

If I want to define a filter like an existing one, it's worse because there may be even more things to copy across - and if it's a regex filter the re itself will be a huge pain to copy by eye.

Please allow any account/ identity/ filter (and maybe some others - mail list perhaps) definition to be copied/cloned. I'd suggest the new one should be marked disabled or something until it's tweaked.
