| POP Account: | This should be set to the address where you receive
your mail. The entry must be entered in the following
form: |
| "username@incoming_mail_server" |
| This is a required field on this screen. |
 |
| Real Name: | This is field you can use to fill in your actual name
(i.e. John Smith) and it will be appended to the
return address in messages you send, enclosed in
parentheses. |
|
| SMTP Server: | This should be set to the address of a machine that
supports SMTP. If the machine that your POP account is
on supports SMTP, you need not fill this in (Eudora will
use the machine your POP account is on to deliver mail
also). |
|
| Return Address: | This should be set to the address of how you wish your
return address to appear in mail that you send. If your
POP account (as shown above) is also your return address
then you can leave this field blank also. |
|
| If you have the New Mail Notification "Sound" switch on, then when new mail
arrives, you will hear a notification sound. In order for this to work,
your system must have a properly configured sound board, or you must have
installed the Sound Driver for PC-Speaker (anonymous ftp from
ftp.qualcomm.com the file /quest/windows/utils/SPEAK.EXE). Eudora has
a built in sound, but if you wish to supply your own, it must be in .WAV
format. To change the default new mail sound, edit the EUDORA.INI file and
add an entry entry in the [Miscellaneous] section called NewMailSound. Set
the entry to the name to the filename of the wave file. If the entry is just
a filename, with no path, then Eudora will look for it in the mail
directory. Here's an example of what it may look like in the INI file:
|
|
| [Miscellaneous] |
|
| NewMailSound=NEWMAIL.WAV |
|
|
| If the mail you are sending is bouncing back to you saying that the message
does not have a Date: header, add the following entry to your EUDORA.INI file: |
|
| [Miscellaneous] |
| TimeZone=xxxnnnyyy |
|
| where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nnn is
the offset in hours WEST of GMT (i.e those that are east of GMT should
enter a negative number here). xxx is the timezone during Standard Time
and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time. If you do not
change your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank. |
| Here's some samples: |
| TimeZone=PST8PDT |
| TimeZone=EST5EDT |
| TimeZone=MET-1 |
|
| If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be
put in outgoing messages, which is fine for most because their mail server
will insert the correct Date: header. The moral is: if you don't get
messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the
TimeZone entry alone. |

| TCP/IP Services |
| --------------- |
|
Eudora makes use several different TCP/IP services, and has default
port numbers for these services. Most sites put these services on the
default ports, but some may not. Contact your site network adminstrator
to make sure that the following services listed below are indeed on the
default port numbers. If they aren't, you'll have to make some changes to
some configuration file(s) in your TCP/IP package (usually to a SERVICES file). |
|
| Below are a list of the services which Eudora uses, and what they
might look like in a typical services file. The names of these services
must be exactly as named here (e.g. the entry for the POP3 service must
be "pop3" and not "pop-3"). Make sure that you make any changes necessary
for your TCP/IP package to specifiy the location of the SERVICES file. |
|
| To send mail: |
| smtp25/tcp |
|
| To receive mail: |
| pop3110/tcp |
