This documentation consists of a collection of topics organized
by subject matter. You can access each topic directly from the
table of contents in the left pane, from a link from another help
topic, from an index entry, from the results of a search, or from
your own custom list of favorites.

to instruct you on an aspect of the subject matter you are
interested in.

Information
Overview
Overview topics contain
general-purpose information describing a process, feature, or
procedure at a high level. Overview topics are generally associated
with a specific node in the table of contents.
Concept
Conceptual topics describe in detail
how something works. For example, "Understanding Public Folders" is
a conceptual topic that describes how you can use a public folder
to store messages or information that can be shared among users in
your organization. Conceptual topics differ from overview topics in
that they deal with a particular subject in greater depth. They
also differ from glossary entries in that they describe how things
work, rather than what they are.
Process
Process topics guide you through a
series of procedures for performing a complex task.
Procedure
Procedure topics describe how to
perform a specific task. You can access procedure topics from the
table of contents, from a process topic, from a conceptual topic,
or from a link in the user interface context-sensitive help.
