Hello everyone!

I'm making a bit of progress in learning Drupal and have a few modules installed and have learned the basic stuff to set up a simple site. But I can't quite figure out how to setup the site how I want it to.

What I'm going for is a Microsoft Outlook type layout. I need three columns
First Column - Navigation
Second Column - List of Articles/Content - Based on menu item clicked
Third Column - Content - Loads when clicked from second column but it doesn't change the second column

I've been screwing around with views and I just can't quite seem to figure it out so I figure I'm missing something or I need another module (I have been messing with panels as well). I've been trying to find videos but I can't find anything of much help to me (for this issue I've actually learned quite a bit of other stuff)

Exposed Filters in Views are your new friends.
Put the filters in a block (see Advanced Settings section in the Views UI), and then users can set them to show content filtered according to their selections.

Your top-level nav should probably be just links to Views page paths.
