First Time Installation
Adding a mail account

Configuring Eudora - First Time Installation
  1. Open Eudora.

    The Options window will display. If not, click Tools on the menu bar then Options.

  2. Scroll to the top of the list and Select Getting Started.

  3. Complete the fields:
    • Real Name - The name from which any e-mail sent using this profile will display.
    • Return Address - The address from which any e-mail sent will display. This is the address from which you may drop the mail from your domain name. For example: bob@interland.net.
    • Mail Server (Incoming) - The mail server your incoming e-mail will go through. Usually mail.yourdomain.com.
    • Login Name - Your complete email address - not just the first part before the '@domain.com' part.
    • SMTP Server (Outgoing) - Usually the same as you incoming mail server, mail.yourdomain.com.
      Note: Some ISP's block the use of outgoing mail servers other than theirs (port 25 block). If you can receive your mail but get an error that the outgoing mail server cannot be found, your IPS is probably blocking port 25. You will need to use your ISP's outgoing mail settings instead. Contact your ISP for instructions.
    • Do not check the Allow Authentication box.
    • Allow Authentication - Uncheck this box.
  4. Click OK.
