About the FirstClass Directory

The FirstClass Directory is the place on the server that stores information about users and objects to which you can address mail. You can open the Directory to view who and what is in it. It also lets you address mail just by typing the name of a user or object.
The Directory contains addresses for:

• all users who are registered on this server
For example, if your organization has one server, all users in your organization who are registered on your server are listed. The groups to which they belong are also shown, if this information was entered by your administrator.
• your personal addresses and mail lists
These are created by you. You will only see personal addresses and mail lists that you added, not other users' personal addresses and mail lists.
• conferences, gateways, and calendars known to this server.

Note

Some Directory entries may not be visible to you because your administrator can customize your view of the Directory. In addition, any entries defined as unlisted do not appear in the Directory. Names in italics will not accept instant messaging invitations.

Opening the Directory

To open the Directory, click Directory.

Narrowing the Directory list

You can reduce the number of entries shown in the Directory list by requesting only certain categories of entries. The Directory window contains checkboxes for three categories:

• local (the users who are registered on your server, plus your personal addresses and mail lists)
• remote (users who are registered on other servers that are gatewayed to your server)
• conferences (includes calendars).

To remove all entries for a category from the list, clear the appropriate checkbox, then click Search.
