About notification
FirstClass includes a mail notification feature that lets you know you have received mail in either of the following situations:
• you are not connected to a server
• you are not currently working with the FirstClass client.
For notification to work:
• you must use a TCP/IP- or UDP/IP-compatible network where your server uses UDP port 810
If you are unsure whether this is the case, check with your administrator.
• you are currently connected to this network
• notification has been activated
• the FirstClass client is currently running.
FirstClass lets you know you have new mail in one of these ways:
• it opens a notification popup, if you are currently working with the FirstClass client, but are not connected to the server that received the mail
• it animates the FirstClass icon, if you are not currently working with the FirstClass client (Windows)
• it uses your operating system's standard notification manager, if you are not currently working with the FirstClass client (Mac OS, Mac OS X).
Activating notification
You activate notification in your settings file. If you use multiple settings files, you can activate notification in some settings files but not in others. This lets you customize notification behavior so that, for example, you are notified about new mail on one server, but not another, or about new mail to one of your user IDs, but not another.
To activate notification:
1 Choose Collaborate > Connect.
2 Make sure the settings file for which you want notification active is displayed at "Address".
3 Click Setup.
4 Select "Notify me of new mail when offline".
5 Type your password for this connection at "Notifier password", if it is not saved in this settings file.
What you can do from the notification popup
The notification popup provides a description of a new message, unless either the FirstClass client or the server have just been restarted. The popup also contains the following buttons:
<
Displays a description of the previous new message.
>
Displays a description of the next new message.
Cancel
Closes the notification popup.
Login
Opens the FirstClass Login form, so that you can connect to the server that received the mail.
