#FIRSTCLASS CLIENT .FC SETTINGS UPDATE#

Personal offers big advantages if you are operating on a limited bandwidth and expensive link such as a mobile telephone. The normal Client is well supported with excellent documentation from the OU.ДЇirstClass Personal allows offline operation where one connects, downloads all new mail and selected conferences, uploads mail and conference contributions and then disconnects. If you are only accessing FirstClass from home on a broadband link and are not too worried about retaining an audit trail over several years then the normal FirstClass client is all you need - it is fast and allows access to a huge range of online conferences etc. The emphasis in this paper has always been on using FirstClass offline with FirstClass Personal. The new material firstly covers the updates to the version 8.x Clients and Personal and secondly we are adding a large new section covering FirstClass on Linux as we have almost entirely changed to using Ubuntu Linux instead of Windows.

It is clear that FirstClass is one of the rare pieces of software to stand the test of time well and remained true to its roots! We have always thought it an excellent concept which brings together Mail and Conferences in a perfect way for collaboration and still has no serious competition. The original page was one of the first we wrote in support of Pauline's teaching and it was largely unchanged after ten years.
