FirstClass Email and Conferencing Setup

FirstClass is a multi-platform (Windows and Macintosh) communications system that integrates the power and versatility of email and conferencing with Intranet and Web publishing.  The District recently upgraded to version 8.0 server.

FirstClass email can be accessed in two ways - with a web browser or the FirstClass client. The client offers more functionality. If you are planning to use your FirstClass account from home you are encouraged to follow the instructions below for setting up the client on your home PC or Mac.

If you are on the road and want to check your email you can use the web browser interface. It is not as effective as the client, but it works fairly well for checking your email.  To access the web browser login type the following in any web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator):  http://doversherborn.org/login

To install the FirstClass client in your home or office click the link below:

FirstClass ClientDownloads

If you are upgrading from an older client the settings will remain the same as before.

If this is the first time you have used the client on your machine launch the program by clicking the FirstClass icon on your desktop.

When you first launch the client it will not find a server. A Complete Server Setup screen will appear.

In the center of the screen is the word FirstClass. 

Delete the word FirstClass and enter the following exactly as indicated here:

mail.doversherborn.org

Click Save and close the setup box.

Click the FirstClass icon on your desktop.
