Eudora
Setting up Eudora to retrieve your mail is pretty simple. As seen below, this step by step setup will help you get your mail.
Within Eudora, Select "Tools" and then Select "Options".
- Within the Tool Bar on the left side of the Box, Select "Getting Started"
- Enter your POP Account Information, example [email protected]
(the following two steps are optional)
- Enter your Real Name, example John Doe
- Enter your Return Address, example [email protected]
After completing the first section, Select "Hosts" within the Tool Bar.
- Verify that the POP Account information is correct.
- Enter your Internet Service Provider's SMTP Mail Server information.
Example mailhost.your_isp.com
(mailhost.your_isp.com is the SMTP Mail Server for that Internet Service Provider)
Note: Our UNIX web hosting customers can use our SMTP server if you need to have your outgoing e-mail look as if it originated from your domain instead of from an ISP.
If you have multiple accounts within the same domain name, you make use this feature to download the mail as that user. All what is needed is the basic e-mail account information and to save the information within Eudora.
