Also stay in the loop with what's going on through these awesome links:
Add a mail icon next to Mii - when you click it should bring up your email page - we will use this for secure email - if they have something to upload they can upload and it will get sent to mxa - to a case or to a merchant attachment - in all cases mxa user would initiate mail - user would reply to it with (or without) attachment - icon would need to blink if new mail and should be able mark as read. Need to mimic MXM5 email capability.
