Eudora 4.x/5.x Setup

 


1. Launch Eudora Pro 4.

2. Go to Tools--Options.

3. On the left-hand side, click on "Getting Started". The right-hand side should change to something like the image below.

Getting Started

4. In there are the following settings

Real Name
enter in your name, but it could be anything. It will be sent (along with your e-mail address) whenever you send a message.

Return Address

enter the email address that you want people to REPLY to you with.  The email should should be youremail@intercape.com or name@domain.com .

Mail Server Incoming

should be pop3.intercape.com

Login Name

enter the Login Name that will be used to send/receive email from this mail account.  Your Login Name is the same as Your Email Address.

Be sure to type in the full Login Name ending with either @intercape.com or @yourdomain.com

NOTE: Some versions of Eudora cannot interpret the @ sign in the Login Name.  If you are having problems sending/receiving, replace the @ sign with either an % or # (example: name#intercape.com or name#yourdomain.com or name%intercape.com or name%yourdomain.com

 

SMTP Server (Outgoing)

should be smtp.intercape.com

Note: In Eudora 5.x there is a checkbox for "Allow authentication". This box must be unchecked.

5. On the left-hand side, click on Checking Mail. The right-hand side should look like the image below.

Checking Mail

6. In there should be the following settings:

Mail Server/Login Name
these should be carried over from what you entered above.

Check for mail every X minutes

if this box is checked, then Eudora will check for new mail as soon as it is opened and every X minutes as long as it is open, where "X" is a number you enter--preferably 5 - 10 minutes.

Send on check

if this option is checked, it will send any messages waiting to go out when it checks for new messages.

Save password

if this box is not checked, then Eudora will prompt for your password every time it checks for mail. Otherwise, it will save your password.

7. On the left-hand side, click on Incoming Mail. The right-hand side should look like the image below.

Incoming Mail

8. In there should be the following settings:

Server configuration
should be set to "POP"

Leave mail on server

if this box is checked, a copy will be left on InterCape's mail server. (This could become a problem at some point in the future since you are only allowed ten megabytes of stored mail on InterCape's mail server.) To prevent this from becoming a problem, Eudora allows two additional options:
Delete from server after X days
if checked, old messages will be removed from InterCape's mail server after X days, where "X" is a number you specify.

Delete from server when emptied from Trash

if checked, old messages should be removed from the server when after they've been deleted from Eudora's Trash mailbox.

Skip messages over X K in size

if checked, Eudora will not download messages over X kilobytes (typically attachments). However, these messages will remain on InterCape's mail server.

Offline

if this is checked, Eudora will not connect. Make sure this box is unchecked.

Authentication style

should be set to "Passwords"

9. Click on OK and then you should be all set.
