Step 1
(Creating a new mail account)
Start Eudora
If it loads up immediately with "New Account Wizard", click
here
to skip to step 2.
Under the
Tools
menu, click
Personalities
.
In the left-hand pane (Under where is says "Persona"), right-click "
" and then click
New...
.
Step 2
(Adding a new account)
Make sure "Create a brand new email account" is selected, then click
Next
.
(If it shows "Personality Name", then enter something descriptive to identify this account such as your domain name or email address, then click next).
For
Your name
, enter the name (not the email address) you'd like to appear in the "From" line of your emails. For instance, "John Smith" or "RegCA Sales". Click
Next
.
For
E-mail address
, enter the email address you'd like to use at your domain. For example: john@my-domain.ca, webmaster@my-domain.ca, info@my-domain.ca, etc. Click
Next
.
If you've already set up an email address, enter the full email address in as the
Login name
, and it's password for
Password
. If you haven't yet set up an email address (or you're using a MiniSite), put your full domain name in for
Login name
. Click
Next
.
Set
Incoming Server
as your domain name. For example: my-domain.ca. Make sure
POP
is checked, then click
Next
.
Set
Outgoing Server
as your domain name. For example: my-domain.ca. Make sure
Allow Authentication
is checked, then click
Next
.
Click
Finish
.
Some major ISP's (such as AOL,Sympatico,MSN,etc) block outgoing email. If you're using one of these providers, or you receive this error when trying to send an email:
Could not connect to "my-domain.ca" Cause: connection refused
(or
Connection closed by foreign host
)
Unfortunately Eudora does not allow you to specify an alternative outgoing mail server port. You will have to: go to the
Tools
menu, and click
Personalities
. Right-click on the relevant personality ("<Dominant>" if you only have one), then change the SMTP server to the SMTP server provided by your ISP for your ISP mail account.
