An overview of the interface

Right, so you've got Pyne running, and you should now be staring at a fairly familiar graphical mail client type interface. First lets look around the main window.

Cute, isn't it :o). When you run Pyne the red numbers may not be visible, but by some dubious means known only to the author, Big Red Numbers are visible on the picture. They mark certain areas of the interface:

1. The menu bar. You should be familiar with these things. Clicking on 'file' brings down the 'file menu', and so on.
2. The tool bar. This provides shortcuts to items in the menu bar. They function by being clicked on. Unless they are grey... So what can we draw from this? Don't trust grey things. They don't work.
3. The message list (or message tree). When you click on a folder in the folder list, the messages are shown here. You can do various sordid things to them, such as viewing them, deleting them and moving them into other folders. Items in the toolbar and menubar relating to messages will act on the selected message.
4. The folder list (or folder tree). Messages are organised into folders (and disturbingly folders also may exist within folders). Left click on a folder to view its contents in the message list.
5. The message quickview. When you click on a message in the message list it is shown here.

Creating a mail folder

Right. If your intelligence hasn't already been grossly insulted, lets make ourselves a mailbox (cuboidal object used for sending and receiving email). First, click on the 'file' menu, select 'new', and then in the submenu that appears select 'new mail folder'. A disturbingly complex dialog box should appear that allows you to configure your new mailbox and, if it hasn't been obscured, you should notice a new folder in the folder list called something imaginitive like 'Mailbox'.
