Setting preferences
You can customize how FirstClass behaves in a number of ways. For example, you can change default fonts, apply background pictures to forms, connect to a particular window, and create an automatic reply for mail.
To change a preference:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac OS X
Choose FirstClass > Preferences.
2 Click the tab on the Preferences form that contains the preference you want to change.
3 Make the change.
To change a preference without closing the Preferences form, click Apply.
To reset all preferences to the FirstClass defaults, click Default.
Note
Be cautious about clicking Default. All your preferences will be reset, not just the ones showing on the current tab.
Changing your client's time zone
By default, your client displays dates and times in the same time zone as your server. It does not use the time clock on your computer.
If you are in a different time zone than your server, you will need to adjust your client's time zone so that dates and times display in your local time. To do this, choose the appropriate time zone at "Time zone" in your viewing preferences. Make sure you choose the time zone that applies to your exact location.
Note
FirstClass automatically adjusts for standard and daylight savings times.
Making FirstClass your default mail client
By default, FirstClass is not used to send and receive Internet mail; it is kept separate from your Internet connection. If you make FirstClass your default mail client, FirstClass:
• sends and receives Internet mail
• can use mailto links.
Mac OS X
You cannot use FirstClass to make it your default mail client. You must choose your default mail application through the Mac OS X system preferences.
To make FirstClass your default mail client, select "Register FirstClass® as default mail client" in your general preferences.
Reverting to your browser's mail client
If you made FirstClass your default mail client, but now want to use your web browser instead, start up your browser, then make it your mail default.
