<p>This article is designed to explain the layout of the Mail section in all of its parts. It is broken down into 3 major parts--Mail Folders and POP Accounts on the Left, and the Mail View on the right. If configured to do so, the Mail View can be split into 2 pieces--the normal Mail List and Mail Preview Pane.</p>
<p>Mail is accessible under the Personal section of the Navigation bar.<br /><br /><img src="images/articles/nav-personal.jpg" /><br /><br />Simply click the Mail icon and you will be taken to the Mail Section:<br /><br /><img src="images/articles/mail-icon.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Starting in the Top Left Corner...</strong></p>
<h3><strong>Indicator Tab</strong></h3>
<p><img src="images/articles/mail-indicatortabs.jpg" /></p>
<p>The indicator tab is displayed at the top of the Email window, displaying which section you currently have open. As you open additional sections or Emails, additional Indicator Tabs will appear, and you can easily switch between tabs by clicking on the one you want to view.</p>
<p>The Indicator Tab for a folder displays the total number of messages within that folder.  The format of the Indicator Tab's display for any given folder tends to be: "<Current Folder> # Messages"</p>
