Setting up Eudora Email Client Program
- Activating
your email account
Before you proceed in configuring your email client, make sure you have created
all your email accounts through your web based control
panel under email
accounts.
After configuring and activating your email account, you may then proceed
to configure your email client (eg. Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook or
Outlook Express).
- Configuring
Eudora
In Eudora, go to the Tools menu and select OPTIONS.
In the Options window, you will see several icons on the left. Select GETTING
STARTED.
In the REAL NAME field, type your name the way you would like people
to see it when they get email from you. For example, John Doe.
In the RETURN ADDRESS field, enter your email address. For example:
john@anything.com
In the MAIL SERVER (INCOMING) field, enter the POP or mail server that
was given to you. For example: If the domain you registered is "www.yourdomain.com"
then your incoming mail server would be "mail.yourdomain.com".
In the LOGIN NAME field, enter the login name you created in the web
based control panel. For example: If the user name you created is "John" and
the domain you registered for is "www.anything.com"; your login name will
be "john%anything.com"
In the SMTP SERVER (OUTGOING) field, we highly recommend using the
outgoing or SMTP server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The reason
is because you should experience faster performance from your own ISP. In
some cases, you will not be able to use your ISPs SMTP server for sending
out emails.
If you are using our SMTP servers please be sure to set your outgoing mail
server to "mail.yourdomain.com" from within your email program. Also,
please be aware that in order to send email though our servers you must have
successfully checked your account within the past 60 minutes. Once you have
checked your mail, you will be able to send mail for the next 60 minutes.
We have our server setup this way so that spammers cannot access our smtp
servers so easily. Otherwise spammers could relay their bulk mail through
your account and send out millions of emails. Not only is spamming illegal
in some states, but it also degrades the server performance.
Click OK. This completes the basic setup - you should now be able to
send and receive email in Eudora.
