| 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. |
| 40 | </p> |
| 41 | <p> |
| 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. |
| 45 | <li><b>Addresses</b> - Holds a list of addresses that are contained in your personal address book. |
