Eudora Mail Tutorial

Here are the steps you need to perform to set up Eudora:

1) Install and start up the Eudora program

2) Select "Settings" from the "Special" menu

3) Select the "Getting Started" tab, then under Real Name, enter your Real Name.

4) Under "POP Account," enter your dialup email address.

5) Leave Return Address blank unless you want people to send return email to you at a different email account. 

You can use one of your domain addresses in this area if you wish.

6) If you use the Macintosh version, the radio button for TCP/IP connection should be highlighted.

7) Click the "Personal Information" tab (also only for the Macintosh version).

8) Under POP account, put your dialup email address, again.

9) Fill out the "Real Name" and "Return Address" as you did before.

10) Under "Dial up User Name," enter your username. This is the username you use with your dialup account.

11) Click the "Hosts" tab, then enter your Internet dialup account information.

This generally looks something like mail.myisp.net. (check with your Internet Service Provider for the correct Outgoing SMTP information).

12) Go to the "Checking Mail" tab and make sure "Save Password" is checked.

That's pretty much all the configuration Eudora needs.

Many of the configuration areas will be filled in when you go to them. 

For instance, it will usually fill in the POP account info wherever it needs it after you enter it the first time. 

Now, when you select "Check Mail" under the File menu, a window will pop up asking for your password.

Enter in your password then click on the proceed button and Eudora will check to see if you have email. 

You can now send a test email message to yourself and then check to see if it gets returned to you. 

If you checked "Save Password" as in step 12, Eudora will not prompt you again for your password after the first time. 

If multiple users have access to your computer, and you don't want them to have access to your email account, make sure "Save Password" is unchecked.

Once you have completed the above steps, you can now send email from your email client.

The next step would be to create multiple accounts using your email accounts that you have created with your domain.

When setting up additional accounts, you must always use your dialup account for your outgoing email and using the return email address for your domain mail account.

Your domain account would be your incoming SMTP and this would look something like this: (depending on what email accounts you have created)

anything@yourdomain.com

and then you would enter your username and password that you have setup for that particular email address.

All of your email will be sent to your default account, unless other configurations take priority.
