Configuring Eudora E-mail Client

To configure your Eudora or any other e-mail client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers:

• POP3 (Incoming) mail server:    mail.your-domain.com (replace your-domain with your actual domain)
  (Note: if your domain name is not yet transferred or registered, then please use mail.hosting-advantage.com as the incoming mail server until your domain name is active.  You will know your domain is active when you can type yourdomain.com/netfronts and you see a login page.)
• SMTP (Outgoing) mail server:  We recommend you use your ISP outgoing mail server.  Most ISPs will provide this and the connection speed will be faster than if you use ours.  
  
  AOL and MSN do not offer an outoing mail server.  In this case, use mail.your-domain.com (replace your-domain with your actual domain)  If this doesn't work, your ISP may be blocking outgoing mail.  See this page for how to resolve this.

Configuring Eudora

To configure this email client with the POP before SMTP relay:

1. Open Eudora.
2. In the menu bar, go to the Tools drop-down menu and select Options.



3. On the page that shows, select Getting Started on the left and fill in the following form:

   

   • Real name - enter the name you would like others to see when they receive your e-mail;
   • Return address - your full e-mail address;
   • Mail Server - your incoming mail server; mail.your-domain.com or mail.hosting-advantage.com
   • Login Name - your e-mail address;
   • SMTP Server - We recommend you use your ISP outgoing mail server.  Most ISPs will provide this and the connection speed will be faster than if you use ours.  AOL and MSN do not offer this.  In this case, use mail.your-domain.com (replace your-domain with your actual domain)  If this doesn't work, your ISP may be blocking outgoing mail.  See this page for how to resolve this.

   Click OK. Once you have filled these fields, Eudora will populate other settings based on your input.

4. Select Checking Mail on the left and fill out the form that shows:

   

   • Mail Server (POP) and Login Name should be populated from your input on the Getting Started screen.
   • Check for mail every "X" minutes - determine how often Eudora will check for new mail messages when you are connected.
   • Send on check - allows you to send any outgoing mail messages at the time that you check for incoming mail.
   • Save password - check this option so you will not have to enter it each time you check your mail.

Click OK to save settings.

5. Select Incoming Mail on the left and check the necessary options:

   

   • Server Configuration - must be set to POP;
   • Leave mail on server - allows your e-mail to be stored on a server;
     Otherwise, mail can be deleted after storing for a certain amount of days or upon emptying from Eudora's Trash bin;
   • Skip messages - allows you to not download messages that are of a large size;
   • Offline should not be checked;
   • Authentication style should be set to Passwords.

   Click OK.

6. Select Sending Mail on the left.

   

   • Return address and SMTP server should already be completed from previous fields on the Getting Started tab;
   • Domain field can be left blank;
   • Allow authentication should not be checked for POP SMTP relay;
   • Immediate send allows Eudora to send messages immediately after being written, as opposed to storing them in the Outbox for you to send at a later time;
   • Check Send on check to send any outgoing mail messages at the time that you check for incoming mail;
   • Leave Secure Sockets as the default setting;

   Click OK to save settings.

Now that Eudora Mail is configured, you can send and receive emails.
