@ Rein:
Concerning the popups:
You already implemented some of them. On the „mail“ tab there are
popups when you hover over QTC, Delete and the New Mail button. This
is what I meant. Nothing more. I think you won‘t need an expert mode
to shut this feature off, since the advanced user doesn‘t hover much,
he just clicks.
Here are some suggestions:

Preferences:
Popups in the user data fields are fine as is, probably add something
like „password to „secure“ the connection to the PSKmail server“
(German: Passwort um die Verbindung zum PSKmail- Server
„abzusichern“). I briefly confused it with my email password.
Mode settings:
You allready have a default button for a „European“ modetable. Why not
make two buttons like „US default modeabe“ and „Restoftheworld default
modetable“.
For popups in the Info and link menu you could use the text that is
allready in the manual:
Ping Send a ping frame on frequency Ctrl-P
