Configuring your Eudora Email Client

• Activating your email account
  
  Before you proceed in configuring your email client, make sure you have created all your email accounts through your web based control panel under email accounts.
  
  After configuring and activating your email account, you may then proceed to configure your email client (eg. Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Outlook or Outlook Express).
  
  
• Configuring Eudora
  
  
  
  In Eudora, go to the Tools menu and select OPTIONS.
  
  
  
  In the Options window, you will see several icons on the left. Select GETTING STARTED.
  
  In the REAL NAME field, type your name the way you would like people to see it when they get email from you. For example, John Doe.
  
  In the RETURN ADDRESS field, enter your email address. For example: john@anything.com
  
  In the MAIL SERVER (INCOMING) field, enter the POP or mail server that was given to you. For example: If the domain you registered is "www.yourdomain.com" then your incoming mail server would be "mail.yourdomain.com".
  
  In the LOGIN NAME field, enter the login name you created in the web based control panel. For example: If the user name you created is "John" and the domain you registered for is "www.anything.com"; your login name will be "john%anything.com"
  
  In the SMTP SERVER (OUTGOING) field, we highly recommend using the outgoing or SMTP server of your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The reason is because you should experience faster performance from your own ISP. In some cases, you will not be able to use your ISPs SMTP server for sending out emails.
  
  If you are using our SMTP servers please be sure to set your outgoing mail server to "mail.yourdomain.com" from within your email program. Also, please be aware that in order to send email though our servers you must have successfully checked your account within the past 60 minutes. Once you have checked your mail, you will be able to send mail for the next 60 minutes. We have our server setup this way so that spammers cannot access our smtp servers so easily. Otherwise spammers could relay their bulk mail through your account and send out millions of emails. Not only is spamming illegal in some states, but it also degrades the server performance.
  
  Click OK. This completes the basic setup - you should now be able to send and receive email in Eudora.
