Configuring Eudora

NOTE: If you are having trouble checking Email using Eudora, check to make sure that your settings for checking Email are configured to Never start TLS, or that the SMTP and POP/IMAP server name matches the name on the SSL certificate you are using exactly. Eudora has zero tollerance for domain mis-matches in its SSL certificate checking.

These directions apply specifically to Eudora 5.2.

  1. From the Tools pull-down menu, select Options.

  2. In the Getting Started section, provide the following information:

    • Real name

      This should be your own full name.

    • Return Address

      This should be your complete e-mail address, for example bob@yourcompany.com.

    • Mail Server (Incoming)

      This is your domain name, for example yourcompany.com

    • Login Name

      This should be your e-mail user name, for example bob for an e-mail address of bob@yourcompany.com.

    • SMTP Server (Outgoing)

      This is your domain name again.

    • Allow Authentication

      Select this checkbox. This will make Eudroa authenticate before sending mail, which is necessary for the SMTP-Auth anti relay system on your Virtual Private Server

  3. For POP and IMAP accounts, perform the following steps:

    • Click Checking Mail

    • Change the Secure Sockets when Receiving section from the default: If Available, STARTTLS to Never.

    • Click OK.

    • Restart Eudora.
