Description

It would be nice if it had an option to show 3 panes which would consist of the following:

  1. The folder list in the left one.
  2. The message list of the selected folder in the upper right one.
  3. The selected message's content in the lower left one.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the existing folder list, message list, and message-content screens in the Android app, then define how they can coexist in a three-pane layout; done means an option presents those three views with the selected folder and message reflected in the corresponding panes.
