29 | SquirrelMail is laid out in two main sections called frames. The |
30 | left frame lists the currently subscribed folders. More information |
31 | about the left frame may be found under the "Folders" section of this |
32 | help documentation. |

35 | On the right is where most of the action will take place. At the |
36 | top of the page is a menu bar. Sign out will safely log you out of |
37 | the program when you are finished. The Current Folder displays which |
38 | of the folders listed in the left frame you are currently in. |
39 | Right after you log in, by default your INBOX will be shown. |

42 | Under the top bar is a row of menu choices: |
43 | <ul> |
44 | <li><b>Compose</b> - Make and send an email which may include attachments. |
