Display Modes

The mode tree on the left of the main window determines your view mode.

The Mailing List modes view and filter your contacts in various ways.  When you click the "New Email" button it will send to all contacts in the current view (by default).

Message Center modes display active and completed sending tasks for you to view and manage.

History modes allow you to review your mailing list and sending history.

Statistics modes help you to understand your mailing list and sending with data grids and graphs.

If you have not selected a specific mode, a graph of your membership and details of recent activity will be displayed (Right-click the graph to configure or print it).
