If you are installing from diskette, you are prompted to insert additional diskettes into drive A. 9. Eudora is installed in the destination directory, and you are prompted for whether or not you want to view the README file. Click Yes. Note: Always keep the Help file in the same directory as the executable (.exe). ---------------- New Features for 3.0.2 ---------------- Dragging the dump truck icon onto a folder icon in the mailbox list now causes the folder to open automatically. ------------- Configuration ------------- The first time you run Eudora, you will have to edit some of the configuration information in order to be able to send and receive mail. Select Options... from the Tools Menu. The fields you need to review are: POP Account: To use Eudora, you must have an account on a computer that runs a POP3 server. This is the account to which your e-mail messages are delivered before they are transferred to the Eudora program on your PC. In this field, type your login name for this account, an "@" sign, and the full (domain) name of the computer. For example, if your assigned login name is "carolyn," and the name of the computer where you receive e-mail is "uxh.cso.uiuc.edu," type "carolyn@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu" in this field. Real Name: Type your real name. Your name, as it appears here, is displayed in parentheses after your return address in your outgoing mail. It is also displayed in the sender column of all messages you send. SMTP Server: To send mail, a computer with an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server program is necessary. You need not have a login to this computer, but you must have access to it through your network. If the computer on which you have your POP account is also an SMTP server, leave this field blank. Otherwise, specify the name of the computer you want to use as your SMTP server. Return Address: Normally, Eudora uses your POP account as your return address. If you wish to use a return address other than your POP account, enter it here. If you have the New Mail Notification "Sound" switch on, and when new mail arrives, you will hear a notification sound. In order for this to work, your system must have a properly configured sound board, or you must have installed the Sound Driver for PC-Speaker (anonymous ftp from ftp.eudora.com the file /quest/windows/utils/SPEAK.EXE). Eudora has a built-in sound, but if you wish to supply your own, it must be in .WAV format. To change the default new mail sound, select Options... from the Special menu, and then select the Getting Attention category. Select the button under the "Play a sound" checkbox, and a dialog will prompt you for the sound file. Note that this driver will only work for the Windows 3.X operating system. It will not work for Windows NT or Windows 95. If the mail you are sending is returning to you saying that the message does not have a Date: header, add the following entry to your EUDORA.INI file: [Settings] TimeZone=xxxnnnyyy where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nnn is the offset in hours WEST of GMT (i.e., those that are east of GMT should enter a negative number here). xxx is the timezone during Standard Time and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time. If you do not change your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank. Here's some samples: TimeZone=PST8PDT TimeZone=EST5EDT TimeZone=MET-1 If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be put in outgoing messages, which is fine for most users because their mail server will insert the correct Date: header. The moral is - if you don't get messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the TimeZone entry alone. --------------- TCP/IP Services --------------- Eudora makes use of several different TCP/IP services, and has default port numbers for these services. Most sites put these services on the default ports, but some may not. Contact your site network administrator to make sure that the following services listed below are indeed on the default port numbers. If they are not, you will have to make some changes to some configuration file(s) in your TCP/IP package (usually to a SERVICES file). Below are a list of the services which Eudora uses, and what they might look like in a typical services file. The names of these services must be exactly as named here (e.g., the entry for the POP3 service must be "pop3" and not "pop-3"). Make sure that you make any changes necessary for your TCP/IP package to specify the location of the SERVICES file. To send mail: smtp 25/tcp To receive mail: pop3 110/tcp To use Ph (if your site has a Ph server): csnet-ns 105/tcp To use Finger (if your site supports finger): finger 79/tcp To use the Change Password... function in Eudora, your site must have a password changing server installed. See the directory quest/unix/servers/password on ftp.eudora.com for examples of password changing servers): epass 106/tcp There are also entries in the [Settings] section of the EUDORA.INI file for default port numbers of services. These are provided for setups in which the SERVICES file cannot be modified. Do not use these entries unless the services are not on default port numbers and you cannot modify them in your TCP/IP package. Here are sample INI entries: [Settings] SMTPPort=25 POPPort=110 PHPort=105 FingerPort=79 EudoraPassPort=106 ------------------ Freeware Questions ------------------ If you have a technical question about Eudora Light for Windows, check the online help and user manual.
