Change Password Pretty self-explanatory.
E-mail If you specify an address in the E-mail field, you can use these features.

[edit] Skin

This tab doesn't need much explanation. The only thing to note is "MySkin," which is a personal skin that you can create by editing Special:Mypage/myskin.css and Special:Mypage/myskin.js.

[edit] Files

Specify how big you want thumbnails and images to be.

[edit] Date and time

Set how you want the date to look and what time the server should give you.

[edit] Editing

Use "Rows" and "Columns" to adjust the size of the editing field. The boxes below are just different options that have to do with editing.

[edit] Recent changes

Not sure what "Titles in recent changes" means.
"Hide minor edits in recent changes" hides edits marked with an "m".
"Enhanced recent changes" enhances it a bit, but makes it hard to read.

[edit] Search

Hits per page = Search results per page.
Lines per hit = Max amount of lines from which it found the keyword(s), per result.
Context per line = Line length.

[edit] Misc

Not sure what "Threshold for stub display" means, but the rest is self-explanatory.
