Hi, Folders are not necessarily related to containers. The containers on your Home screens are the Dock and the main area. This would be the same on each screen you might have on your device. In the Mail app on iPad, the left hand side has your list of mail accounts, and as ET mentioned, the right side has the list of messages related to the selected mail account. There's a third container on the iPad screen when in Mail that is the message data related to the selected message within the message list. So, within Mail on the iPad, you actually have three containers on the screen. This makes it quicker to navigate the page by container than it would be by regular swiping gestures. Once you know which mail account is selected,, you can swipe down when the rotor is set to Containers, which would bring you quickly to the Message list, swipe a few times to the message you wish to read and select it. If it does not automatically bring focus to that message Information, you could swipe down when in Container mode and you would now be at the message data without needing to swipe through other messages to get to the content of the selected message.
Hope this makes sense. Later...
