How to Socialize using the Social Zimlet

Once you have added a Twitter and/or Facebook account, you can quickly and easily access the Socialize button to add an entry to these accounts. From the Mail tab, you will see the Socialize button. Click on it and it will ask you 'What are you doing?'. Checkmark Facebook and/or Twitter depending on which social tool you wish to add the message to and then click on 'Update'.
