The Basics

CryptoHeaven main window has the following components:

Folder Tree

The folder tree contains all of your folders. This includes:

	My Local Computer	used to access files stored on your local PC
	Data Storage Folder	used for CryptoVault secure data storage
	Address Book	contains all your address book records
	Message Folder	used for CryptoMail secure e-mail
	Chat Folder	used for CryptoChat secure instant messaging
	Discussion Folder	used for CryptoHeaven secure discussion forums
	Keys	shows encryption keys currently in use

Each new CryptoHeaven account has the above default folders. You can add, delete, rename and move folders. You can also share folders with your contacts.

Context Sensitive Folder View

The frame on the right side shows the content of the selected folder. The view type depends on the type of the folder selected.

The following are the three most often used folder views:

• Table of files that the folder contains - you can sort the table by clicking on the column heading. To sort by date, click on "Created" column header.

• Email messages. The list of messages is on top and message body is on the bottom. You can sort these messages anyway you like. You can also view and save attachments.

• Instant Messaging chat log. Use this for real time chatting with one or more of your Contacts.
  

 

Contact List

Add users to your contact list by asking them for authorization. To communicate, both parties need to have CryptoHeaven accounts and they both need to add each other to their contact lists. Have a look at the pop-up menu by pressing the right mouse button over the contacts window.

New accounts have the Contacts window empty. Now is a good time to add a few Contacts to your list. If you were referred to CryptoHeaven by your friend or an associate, you probably already have his User ID - if not, ask for it.

Use the button to search for and add new contacts to your list. Use the button to invite your friends via email.
