Installing+First+Class+at+Home

Installation Instructions:
 * INSTALLING FIRST CLASS AT HOME**
 * Go to **[|www.firstclass.com/]**
 * Select “**Download FirstClass Client** ” from the Resources pull down menu (see the menu bar at the top of the screen).
 * Select the Canadian English version (**V.9.106)** from the table of downloads.
 * Save to a temporary file on your computer. Then open the set up file and follow the installation instructions.
 * Configuring FirstClass
 * Click on **FirstClass** icon (looks like a CD)
 * On the login screen, click on **Advanced**, then select **Setup**
 * For **Login as**, select “**Registered User**”
 * Set the **Connect via** option to the appropriate connection type using the pull down menu (if in doubt try High-Speed Internet.FCP)
 * You don’t need to enter your **User ID**, unless you want it to come up automatically when you start FirstClass (for security reasons, do **NOT** enter your password)
 * If you want FirstClass to open automatically, select that option from **Login**
 * In the **Server** box, enter **mail.osc.on.ca**
 * Click on **Save**
 * Setting Reply Sender as Default
 * Often messages are sent out by Matt or your teachers to the whole class. When you reply to these messages, your reply is sent to everyone that the original message was sent to. To send your reply only to the sender and preventing everyone else from getting unnecessary e-mails you need to select Reply Sender. This can either be done on a message-to-message basis (after you press **Reply** click on **Message** then on **Reply special** and select **Reply Sender**) or you can set Reply Sender as the default for all messages, which is preferable, so you don’t forget to do it.
 * Login to **FirstClass**
 * Click on the **Edit** on the tool bar and select **Preferences**
 * Click on the **Messaging tab**
 * In the **Reply Preferences** box choose the **Reply Sender** option
 * Click on **Apply**
 * If you set Reply sender as your default and you want to reply to everyone, then you can change your reply preferences on a message-to-message basis (after you press **Reply** click on **Message** then on **Reply special** and select **Reply All**)
