Table of Contents
Screen Layout
The Mulberry screen layout:
- has three resizable panes showing different categories of information all contained within a single window offering tabbed mailboxes in the mailbox view pane.
- has a zoom button in the upper right corner of each window pane which allows a pane to be zoomed out to fill the entire window and then zoomed back to normal three-pane mode.
- optionally allows you to use the separate window mode, in which each category of information is displayed in its own window.
- has a mailbox view or message preview triggered by actions configurable via the Window menu Options… choices.
- has standalone mailbox and address book windows that support optional message or address/group preview panes at bottom, whose display is controlled via the Window menu Options… command.
In addition:
- Toolbar will change depending on what you are doing (reading messages, working with your addressbook, etc.)
- Folders (mailboxes) appear in the List Pane.
- Contents of a folder (called a mailbox, includes the Inbox), appear in the Items Pane.
- Contents of a message appear in the Preview Pane.
