Setup Your Email

Setting up Eudora

Eudora is an email package that is free to download from http://www.eudora.com. Eudora has three modes -- Sponsored, Paid, and Light. Sponsored mode gives you the full-featured product, but displays ads on part of your screen. The ads are relatively unobtrusive. Paid mode gives you the same thing as Sponsored mode, without the advertisements, but you need to pay for and register it. Light mode is Eudora without the bells and whistles, but also without advertisements.

When you install Eudora it will be in Sponsored mode by default. You can change the mode by choosing 'Payment & Registration' from the help menu.

These instructions assume that you are using Eudora 6.x in Sponsored mode for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. The configuration might be slightly different for other versions of Eudora.

1.	When you launch Eudora for the first time, you will be stepped through the New Account Wizard which will allow you to set up Eudora as your default email client. At the first screen, simply click "Next."

2.	Leave the default choice, "Create a brand new email account" selected and click "Next."

3.	Type in your name in the "Your Name" field and click "Next."

4.	Enter your email address in the form 'myname@mydomain.com.au'

5.	Enter your email address as your login name 'myname@mydomain.com.au'

6.	Enter the "Incoming Server" mail.yourdomain.com.au (Replace yourdomain.com.au with your own domain name)

7.	Enter the "Outgoing Server" as the appropriate server name. Outgoing mail server (SMTP): provided by your ISP (If not listed HERE Consult your ISP for your SMTP server name)

8.	You have now successfully set up Eudora for getting email. Click "Finished." The wizard will go away and you will be prompted for your email password to check your mail.
