-  [FirstClass® Personal] Random timing problems during the upgrade of a pre-5.5 SP3 (5.700) FC Personal Post Office which could cause errors on the Personal server console that the system profile was damaged and then resulted in a 1044 error when the user tried to work offline have been addressed. For those users who received this error after upgrading to 5.5 SP3, running this version of FC Personal against the Personal Post Office should fix the incorrect upgrade for them.
