Turns out that using overflow:auto won't work in a few cases due to  
some issues with margin/icon spacing.  And the clearing DIV *is* the  
W3C recommended way of handling this issues.

But at least for imp, doesn't appear we need any of the float clearing  
divs (i've already removed them).  And in Horde we are going to remove  
the vast majority of these when fixing the sidebar to use unordered  
lists again.  So I don't feel a need to remove the remaining DIVs.
