Popup/Context Menus
Popup (also called context) menus appear when you click your right mouse button. There is only one context menu active at the time and it appears under your mouse arrow. The contents of the menu are dependent on where you actually clicked.
They are also faster way to getting things done. Sometimes, same option can be found in context menu as well as toolbar and main menu.
Context menu may have certain items in bold text. This is a default option - it indicates that if you double click with left mouse button or press Return/Enter key on your keyboard this particular option will be executed. For example, default option for Contacts area is Send Email. If you double-click a contact it will start this option. Also if you select (single click) a contact and press Return/Enter key, it will also start this option.
Some options may be greyed. These are not available at the particular moment and you need to do some other action before they can become active. Sometimes, options are intentionally greyed to prevent you from doing something you cannot do - e.g. you cannot rename or delete "Local Folders", therefore the option is greyed.
