Configuring email with Eudora |
Candi Best |
Open up your Eudora program.
Once your Eudora program opens up, you should see a toolbar menu at the very top left of the page: (File, Edit, Mailbox, Message, Transfer, Special, Tools, etc..).
With your mouse or keyboard click on Tools and within the Tools menu click on Options.
The options window should now be displayed. On the left side of the options window you will find Category list; Getting Started will be highlighted. To the right of the Category list you will be prompted to enter some information in the fields provided.
Real Name: When you send mail, the name you enter here will appear in the "From" field of the outgoing message. Enter the name as you would like it to appear. Example: John Smith
Return Address: When an individual receives your email and attempts to reply to your email, the email address you enter in this field will be displayed as the reply email address. Example: john@domain.com
Mail Server (Incoming): In this field, enter the name of your POP3 mail server. Example: If your domain name was domain.com, the incoming mail server you would indicate in the space provided would be domain.com.
Login Name: In this field, enter the email address. Example: If your email address was john@domain.com, the login name you would enter in the field would be john@domain.com. (If for some reason this gives you errors, try just john instead of the full email address.)
SMTP Server (Outgoing): In this field, enter the name of your SMTP mail server. Example: If your domain name was domain.com. The SMTP server you would indicate in the space provided would be domain.com
Once you have filled out all the information, click on "Checking Mail" from the Category list. You will now see the mail server name and login name you have entered in the previous step. Below these options you will find the "Secure Sockets when Receiving" option. Make sure that this option is set to "Never". (Note: This option may not be visible in older versions of Eudora, like version 5.0, however you should always set this option to "Never" if available.)
From the Category list, you will now want to click on "Incoming Mail". Make sure where it says "Server Configuration", you have set this option to "POP".
You will now want to click on "Sending Mail" from the Category list. You will want to verify that in the "Return Address" and "SMTP server", you have entered the correct information. After verifying that all your settings are correct, click OK.
The settings you have implemented above should allow you to send and receive mail for the email account you have set up. Send yourself a test message to ensure that your settings are correct and that the account is functioning. |
