Eudora is an email package that is free to download from http://www.eudora.com. Eudora has three modes -- Sponsored, Paid, and Light. Sponsored mode gives you the full-featured product, but displays ads on part of your screen. The ads are relatively unobtrusive. Paid mode gives you the same thing as Sponsored mode, without the advertisements, but you need to pay for and register it. Light mode is Eudora without the bells and whistles, but also without advertisements.
In this tutorial we will learn how to set up Eudora 6 for PC as your email client.
What you will Need
1:- A valid email account, if you haven't created an email account yet please log into your Control Panel and set up an email account.
2:- An email client. This tutorial uses Eudora, which is available for PC and MAC
When you install Eudora it will be in Sponsored mode by default. You can change the mode by choosing 'Payment & Registration' from the help menu.
These instructions assume that you are using Eudora 6.x in Sponsored mode for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. The configuration might be slightly different for other versions of Eudora..
Step 1
When you launch Eudora for the first time, you will be stepped through the New Account Wizard which will allow you to set up Eudora as your default email client. At the first screen, simply click "Next."
Step 2
Leave the default choice, "Create a brand new email account" selected and click "Next." Enter a name for your email account and click "Next"
Step 3
Type in your name in the "Your Name" field and click "Next."
Step 4
The next step will ask you for your email address. This is the emial address that was set up in the Control Panel. click "Next."
Step 5
The next step will ask you for your LoginName, this is your full email address ie.

click "Next."
Step 6
The next step asks you for your Incoming Mail Server, this is your domain name with mail. in front of it. Select "pop" click "Next."
Step 7
Enter the "Outgoing Server" name. The outgoing server is the one provided by your ISP. ie if you are an Optus customer you outgoing server would be mail.optusnet.com.au. Make sure the "Allow authentication" checkbox is checked. Then click "Next."
Step 8
You have now successfully set up Eudora for getting your email. Click "Finished." The wizard will go away and you will be prompted for you Unity password to check your mail.
Step 9 - OPTIONAL
If you would like to configure Eudora to check other email accounts (such as a Yahoo! account), click on the personalities icon Personalities tab (circled in the picture below) and right-click in the white space and select New.... . Advanced users should then select "Skip directly to advanced account setup" and then "Next," which will allow you to enter the information for your email account without going through the wizard. If you would like to use the wizard, choose "Create a brand new email account" and click "Next." On the next screen type in a short but descriptive name for the email account you are going to check through Eudora. Then click "Next." Follow the wizard's instructions to set up your email account.
