FirstClass Personal

Normally, you must be connected to a server to work with the objects on your FirstClass Desktop - this can become costly.

FirstClass Personal lets you carry out many of your normal tasks, without having a continuous connection to the FirstClass server.

FirstClass Personal can be used to create copies of the following in a set of files known as the 'Personal Post Office' (PPO) on your computer:

• Your Mailbox
• Your personal calendar
• Conferences
• Public calendars
• Directory information

FirstClass Personal connects to the OU FirstClass server at the times you specify. When connected, FirstClass Personal sends and receives items to and from the OU server, this is known as 'replicating'.
