  About logging in
Depending on how your administrator set up the server and your user account, you may be able to connect (log in) to a server as:
To log into a server using a web browser, you must know the URL of the server. This URL will look something like this:
http://server name or address/login
For example, to access FirstClass Online over the web, type
 NoteIf you have a dialup connection, call your Internet Service Provider (ISP), log in, then start your web browser.
Logging in as a registered user
To log in as a registered user:
1 Enter the server's URL, ending with /login, in your web browser to open the FirstClass Login form.
2 Type the user ID and password in the appropriate fields.
NoteThe Home button takes you to your organization's home page. The Save button saves your user ID and password. We don't recommend this for security reasons. The Clear button clears both fields, so that this information is no longer saved.
3 Click Login to open your FirstClass Desktop.
Logging in using an IMAP client
If you have a client that supports the IMAP4rev1 standard (Netscape IMAP client, or a Microsoft IMAP client such as Outlook Express), you can use this client to connect to a FirstClass server.
For instructions, see your client documentation.
If you are asked to log in again
If the FirstClass Login form opens when you think you are already logged in:
• FirstClass may have logged you out because your connection has been inactive for longer than your permissions allow
• you may have tried to do something for which you don't have permission.
In the second case, your browser may ask you to log in as someone with the appropriate permissions. To get out of this state, cancel the FirstClass Login form, then back up until you are out of the task you were trying to perform.
