Eudora Setup and configuration

To install Eudora Light v1.54 simply use the following screen shots as an example template. The following example illustrates a typical setup where the domain name is ACME.COM, and the user name or POP3 mail account is INFO.
The three (3) things you must know to configure the Eudora Light v1.54 program are:

Options can be found within Eudora Light v1.54 by Clicking on menu item Tools, then Options.

  1. In the Getting Started section of the Options the POP Account should be info%acme.com@mail.compuweb.com. If you wanted your mail account to be jdoe@acme.com then your POP Account would be jdoe%acme.com@mail.compuweb.com.
    Note:  This part of the setup is not case sensitive.  Eudora is unique to other programs that do not require that you combine the pop user with the pop host.  Also, this Eudora setup is the same through Eudora's version 3.0 and changes with Eudora v4.0 or later.
  2. In the Hosts section of the Options the SMTP should be mail.compuweb.com
  3. In the Checking Mail section of the Options the Authentication style selection should be passwords.
  • Of course, the Real Name question can be filled in however you decide you would like people to identify you, your return address should be your email address as you would like others to see it. In this case, the E-Mail address would be Info@ACME.COM. Others would be able to send EMail by typing Info@ACME.COM.
  • You will need to know your POP3 User Account Password. The Password is specific to your account.
  • Compuweb also supports the new IMAP4 standard available in Eudora's release version 4 or greater.
  • Changes to your mail account can be made by accessing the Web-Based Messaging System at:
    http://mail.compuweb.com/ .  Enter your username and password, and click continue on the following screen.
    Note:  Your Web-Based Messaging username is always the full email address of the email account you are trying to access.   Example:  If your email address is info@acme.com, then your username would be info@acme.com.
