Configuring Eudora 5.1



New: Download Eudora for FREE at eudora.com

Eudora 5.1 Professional is a great and easy to use email system.  It allows you to send and receive emails from multiple email accounts (called personalities).  You can conveniently check all of your email accounts at once and send mail from any of them.

Once in Eudora 5.1,

  1. Click on TOOLS ... PERSONALITIES.
  2. Right Click on the Personalities window that opens on the left side of the screen
  3. Click "NEW"
  4. For Personality Name, enter your name
  5. Hit "Enter" or click "NEXT" to open a brand new account
  6. Enter your name again next to "Your Name" and click "NEXT"
  7. Enter your email address, such as johndoe@yourdomain.com. Be sure to use the @ sign here.  Do NOT use the % sign here.
  8. For LOGIN NAME, enter your User ID in the format johndoe%yourdomain.com.  Remember that you use the % sign here, not the @ sign.  If you just enter your name (ie. johndoe) without the %yourdomain.com on the end, Eudora will accept it, but it will not work.
  9. For Incoming Mail Server, enter    mail.cydian.com
  10. If Eudora asks for an outgoing mail server, again enter
         mail.cydian.com
     

That's it!  Your email should now be working.  If you encounter any problems, it is typically because you confused the @ and % signs somewhere in the configuration.  Please recheck all of the above steps for accuracy.  If you have additional questions, send an email to support@cydian.com
