	<p>The <gui>Preferences</gui> option is available in either Geary's application menu or the
	gear menu in the upper-right of the toolbar.  (The location depends on the install desktop
	shell.  For GNOME Shell and Unity, the application menu is available near the top-left corner of
	the screen.)</p>

	<title><gui>Show notifications for new mail</gui></title>
	<p>When set, Geary displays a <em>notification</em> each time a new message arrives.  Notifications
	are displayed in a system-dependent manner.  On GNOME Shell, notifications appear at the
	bottom of the display (older versions) or centered just below the top bar (newer versions).
	In Ubuntu Unity, notifications appear at the upper right of the display.</p>
	</item>
	<item>
	<title><gui>Watch for new mail when closed</gui></title>
	<p>Geary will watch your accounts for new mail even when the main window is not open.  To do
	this, it will silently start when you log in to your computer, and it will continue to run
	after you close all windows.</p>
