If about the contest, sure :)

Well, they probably got missing somehow. That page is informative,
the authoritative list of icons is on sources, of course, and these
you refer are there:

http://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=tree;f=src/pixmaps

We're trying to replace current set, so it must fit in. Doubling
the size, while useful for some, it's not suitable for a default.

Said that, it could be (I don't know), that some icon could fit
_better than current_ in the UI if slightly expanded or shrinked
1 or 2 pixels in some direction. If somebody finds that I think
those changes would be acceptable, just write a note in an 
accompanying README explaining icon.xpm is now XxY size because…

But in principle new icon sizes must match current icon sizes to
ease replacement as much as possible.

Exactly, as they currently are.

With the version used in source code :)

I've updated contest page with links to this and the full icon list
in sources, thanks!
