      So what exactly is <a href="http://squirrelmail.org/">SquirrelMail</a>?
      It's a web interface to email that's written in <a href="http://php.net">PHP</a>.
      It was designed to allow email access through your server from 
      anywhere in the world via the Web.  More information about exactly 
      how it does this and the IMAP protocol can be found <a href="http://imap.org">here</a>.

      If you just have a quick question, you might want to look at the FAQ. 
      </p>
      <p>
      SquirrelMail is laid out in two main sections called frames.  The 
      left frame lists the currently subscribed folders.  More information 
      about the left frame may be found under the "Folders" section of this
      help documentation.
      </p>
      <p>
      On the right is where most of the action will take place.  At the 
      top of the page is a menu bar.  Sign out will safely log you out of 
      the program when you are finished.  The Current Folder displays which 
      of the folders listed in the left frame you are currently in.
      Right after you log in, by default your INBOX will be shown.
      </p>
      <p>
      Under the top bar is a row of menu choices:
         <ul>
            <li><b>Compose</b> - Make and send an email which may include attachments. 
            <li><b>Addresses</b> - Holds a list of addresses that are contained in your personal address book.
            <li><b>Folders</b> - All folder manipulation takes place under this.  You can delete, create, rename, subscribe, and unsubscribe folders. 
            <li><b>Options</b> - Change settings of how SquirrelMail responds and looks. 
            <li><b>Search</b> - With this tool, you can search through a mailbox for given criteria. 
            <li><b>Help</b> - You are already here! 
         </ul>
