Download Messages from OISEnet into another email program

Move your FirstClass messages into Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook Express, etc.

FirstClass/OISEnet will no longer function as an email server as of August 1st 2010.  As such, if you wish to move and existing messages from FirstClass to another email account, you can do so by one of the listed processes:

• Use an email program
• Gmail
• Windows Live Hotmail

Use an email program installed on your computer like Outlook Express or MacMail.

You can use an email program that can be configured for your OISENet account.  You will need an email program like Outlook, Mac Mail or Vista Mail to compete the moving of message out of your OISENet account.  Just follow the new account wizard for your email program, and enter the following information.

OISENet server configuration settings:

Server Type: POP3
Username: your OISENet username
Password: your OISENet password
POP Server: fcis.oise.utoronto.ca
SMTP Server: fcis.oise.utoronto.ca

For example, if configuring Outlook your settings should look something like this:
