To configure Eudora, do the
following:
1. If Eudora 4.x is already installed on you computer skip this step
and go to step 2.
If you do not have Eudora you may get a copy of the most recent
version of Eudora by clicking
here. Once you have downloaded it, install Eudora and
restart your computer.
2. Double-click the Eudora icon to open it. If you are installing
Eudora for the first time, the New Account Wizard opens, showing the
welcome screen.
3. Click Next to begin setting up your new email account.
4. Select an appropriate method of setting up your account:
a. Create a brand new email account (go to step 5). Select this
method to set up a new account if you are not familiar with Eudora
or other email programs. You are prompted to enter one piece of
information per window.
b. Create a new account using the advanced account setup. Select
this method if you are familiar with Eudora or other email programs.
An Account Settings window appears with two tabbed panels.
Enter information from step 6 on these panels. Go to Account
Settings Dialog.
5. If in the Account Setup window you choose to create a brand new
email account and click Next, the New Account Wizard begins guiding
you through the fields for which you need to enter setup
information.
6. In the windows of the New Account wizard, enter the following
field information (click Next after filling out each window):
- Your Name — This is a vanity
field. Enter your name as you would like it to appear in the
From field of all of your outgoing messages from this email
account, to indicate to your recipients whom the mail is from.
- Return Address
Enter your IOLS email address
(yourusername@iols.com).
This is the address that other people will use to send you
email.
- Login Name
Enter ONLY yourusername in this field.
- Incoming E-mail Server
Enter mail.iols.com
In the Internet mail communications protocols select POP (Post
Office Protocol). Type mail.iols.com
Click Finish in the final window and
your new email account is set up.
When you have finished setting up your account via the New Account
wizard, you are now ready to receive messages.
To send messages in Eudora, you must have access to the SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol) server. Your outgoing messages are sent to
the SMTP server, which delivers them to your recipients.
Since the server that runs your incoming email server is the same as
your SMTP server, then no additional setup action is required. You
are now ready to send and receive messages in Eudora.
If you would like to manually set up your SMTP server, do the
following:
1. From the Tools menu, choose Options.
2. Scroll through the Category icons, and choose Sending Mail.
3. In the SMTP server field,
enter smtp.iols.net
4. To save your settings and close the Options dialog box, click OK.
You are now ready to send and receive mail in Eudora.
If you ever wish to change the settings of your email account, you
can do so from the Options dialog box.
You can also change these settings in the Account Settings dialog,
which is accessed from the Personalities window. This window also
lets you create alternate email accounts and edit the settings in
those accounts.
