I think that the behaviour should be consistent with that of other 
applications, that is also why I would consider single click a "must have".
I'd also prefer your first solution. This is how it works in KMail too, for 
example:
- single click on +/- expands/collapses
- single click on folder opens it
- double click on folder expands/collapses

I'd be very grateful if you could implement this behaviour.

Left, as it is what I'd use much more often.

Thanks!!
