ENTERING LAFITE

You must log into the network before you can use Lafite. If you have not logged in already, do so now, following the instructions given in chapter 3.
|
||
In order to obtain your mail, you must be an authenticated user; i.e., your name and password must be accepted by your mail service. When you start up Lafite, it obtains your name and password from the Lisp executive and submits them to the authenticator for verification. If the authentication fails, you are prompted to log in. Lafite will not allow you to send or receive messages until you have been authenticated.
|
||
You can start Lafite by typing one of two commands at the prompt in the executive window: (LAFITE) or (LAFITE 'ON). Lafite will automatically supply your Active Mail folder. You can look at another folder, say MAILFOLDER, by typing (LAFITE 'ON 'MAILFOLDER). You can also type (LAFITE 'ON NIL) to start Lafite without opening any mail folder, then later select a folder from the Browse menu after you enter Lafite; see chapter 5, ``Reading Messages.'' You can also write and send (but not read, move, or otherwise manipulate) Lafite messages by selecting SendMail from the background menu; see chapter 9, ``Sending Messages.''

The Status Window
|
||
1
|
||
|
||
When you start Lafite, two windows will appear on your workstation's screen: the status window and the browser window (the latter will not appear if you typed (LAFITE 'ON NIL)). The other two important types of Lafite windows are the message display window and the message composition window. The browser and message display windows are fully discussed in chapter 5, ``Reading Messages,'' and the message composition window is covered in chapter 9, ``Writing Messages.''
|
||
The Lafite status window contains a region for Lafite status information and a small, fixed menu of commands (see figure 2). When you first start Lafite, the status region informs you that Lafite is initializing and displays the time. This message quickly disappears, to be followed by either ``New Mail for YourName'' or ``No New Mail at Time.'' Your in-boxes are checked for new mail approximately every five minutes; Lafite reports in the status region if you have new mail. If you click in the status region, the background process wakes up and reports status immediately instead of waiting its normal interval.
