Penelope adds a new settings panel, appropriately called 'Penelope':

This panel presents 2 options; which [[Eudora Keybindings|keyboard shortcuts]] to use, and the UI style.
The '''3-Pane (MDI-like)''' style will be most familiar to Windows Eudora users. This is essentially the same as the standard Thunderbird interface, with a 'docked' mailbox list along the left side, and a 2-pane message list and message preview on the right side.

<b>The 2-Pane interface</b> causes mailboxes to open in a similar manner to Mac Eudora; 2-pane message list and message preview. The list of mailboxes will open in a separate window. This interface will likely be bothersome for Windows users as Penelope does not support the same MDI interface that Windows Eudora does. As a result, each of the open windows is listed individually on the Task Bar. Mac users might find this interface to be more like Mac Eudora.

(feel free to add more)
The latter interface will likely be bothersome for Windows users as Penelope does not support the same MDI interface used by classic Windows Eudora. As a result, each of the open windows is listed individually on the Task Bar. Mac users will find this interface to be more like Mac Eudora.
