Installation

Visit the Eudora Download Site to retrieve the version of Eudora for your computer. Launch the Setup or Install program to install the package and then return here to begin configuration.

Getting Started

When you start Eudora for the first time, you'll be prompted with the option to license (pay for) your copy. We expect that you'll be using it for free, so click OK to continue.

New Account Wizard

The "New Account Wizard" will show up next. Go ahead and click OK.

Account Settings

You won't want to use the wizard to set up your U-Mail account, so you'll specify the setting on this screen as:

Skip directly to advanced account setup:

[checked]

and click Finish.

Important Notice

The Qualcomm folks want to warn you that by using the free version of their software you don't get some of their advanced features. Click OK here to acknowledge this.

Getting Started

Now you can finally get started configuring Eudora for use with your U-Mail account. From the Tools menu select Options... to bring up the Getting Started screen. Here you'll want to specify the settings as follows:

Username:	UCSBnetID
Mail Server (Incoming):	incoming.umail.ucsb.edu
SMTP Server (Outgoing):	outgoing.umail.ucsb.edu
Allow authentication	[checked]

Note: The information we provide here works for most internet service providers. A few, however, require that you use their server for outgoing mail (SMTP). If you're unable to send outgoing mail you'll need to contact your service provider to get the name of an approved outgoing mail server.

Incoming Mail

The next section you'll want to modify is Incoming Mail. Make sure the settings are configured as follows:

IMAP Mailbox Location Prefix:	[blank]
For new mail download:	Minimal headers only
When I delete a message:	Mark it as deleted

Sending Mail

The last few settings you need to change are located under the Sending Mail section. On this screen you'll want to change the settings so they look like this:

Return address:	UCSBnetID@umail.ucsb.edu
Domain to add to unqualified addresses:	[blank]
SMTP server:	outgoing.umail.ucsb.edu
SMTP Relay Personality:	None
