Architecture 222, 410/510, & 610

(If you are an Architecture or Interior Architecture student, you can get a correct code just by asking from the receptionist in the Architecture Office (210 Lawrence Hall). Never give the code to anyone else! The DCL is open to students and faculty of the Department of Architecture only.)

Because they are heavily used, the computers are normally left on all the time. If you need to, most models of Macintosh can be started by pushing the button on the top of the keyboard which has a triangle shown on it (either in the top right, or top middle of the keyboard).

3) Use Authorize to create your individual e-mail account. This account will "live on" one of the central campus Unix computers, but you can access it comfortably from almost any networked Macintosh.

1. In the main directory window of the Macintosh hard disk, find the Communications folder. Double-click on the folder to open it.

2. Find the NCSA Telnet Folder and double-click on it to open it.

Telnet is a standard for a kind of terminal emulation software that connects to a host computer over a network. It gives you a very basic command-line text-oriented interface for the remote machine.

With NCSA Telnet in particular, which remote computer you will connect to is controlled by which settings file you open. Therefore, to connect to Authorize, double-click on the "authorize" settings file for the NCSA Telnet 2.6 application.

The NCSA Telnet application should start up, open a terminal window titled "Authorize", and connect you to the Authorize computer.

4. The remote computer will ask you for a user name to log onto it. Type:

authorize [return]

5. The Authorize software will give you some questions to answer. Read the rest of this section of this handout, and then answer the questions.
If you're an undergraduate, you should establish your account on "gladstone", and if you're a graduate student, your account should be established on "darkwing".

You'll need to decide what your personal username will be. Consider this carefully, because this username will be your e-mail name for as long as you are at the University of Oregon. You should use either your first initial and last name (jhancock), or your first and middle initial and last name (jahancock).

If the name you wish to use is already taken, you will be prompted for a unique username. (Jane and John Hancock can't both have a username of jhancock).

You will be asked to set a password. You will have to change this password in the next step, so don't use your favorite secret code just yet.

6. When you're done, quit Authorize and then use the File menu Quit command to quit from NCSA Telnet.

7. Congratulations! You should now have an e-mail account. In the next section, we'll put the account to use. However, the Authorize program may take several hours to activate your program. Take an extended break now, before attempting the next step.

Part Two -- Reset Your Account Password Using Telnet

1. Open the NCSA Telnet Folder, in the Communications folder.

Part Three -- Use Your Account to Send E-Mail

1. In the Communications folder, open the POPmail Folder, and double-click on the POPmail/Lab application icon to start up the program.

2. A dialog box will appear for you to log in with:

Fill in the fields. Be sure to enter your complete e-mail address, in the form

When the fields are full, click OK. The POPmail window will appear.

3. If you're doing this in an Architecture 222 orientation session, create an e-mail message to the GTF leading your orientation. (Otherwise, send the test e-mail to a friend of yours.) Click the New icon to start the message. This opens up a new Message Sender window.

4. Be sure to fill in the To: field, the Subject:, and type your message in the large field. Then also click on the Cc: ("carbon copy") radio button, and enter your own e-mail address. This way you will get a copy of your own message, confirming for you that it was sent successfully. (You don't need to do this 'cc' part always--it's just part of this tutorial.)

When the message is complete, click the Post icon to actually send the message. The Message Sender window will go away, or you can click on the Msgs icon to go back to the main POPmail window.

5. In the main window, click on the Fetch icon to tell POPmail to get the list of your mail from the mail server. Then double-click on any message in the list to read that message.

6. To round out the basic functions:

• When you select a message and then click Reply, you will get a new message already addressed to the sender of what you selected.
  
• When you select a message and then click Print, it will be printed on whatever is the current printer.
  
• When you select a message and then click Save, you will be prompted for a place on a local disk, hard disk or floppy disk, for where the message should be saved from the server.
  
• When you select a message and then click Trash, the message will be permanently deleted from the server.
