• Click on the Tools menu, then choose Options.
  
  
• Select the Getting Started category on the left.

• In the Real name box, type your full name.
  
  
• In the Return address box, type your full email address.
  
  
• In the Mail Server (Incoming) box, type mail.realtime.net
  
  
• In the Login Name box, type your full email address
  
  
• In the SMTP server (Outgoing) box, type mail.realtime.net
  
• Select Allow Authentication
  
• Click on the Checking Mail category.

• If you want Eudora to remember your password put a check in the box labeled Save password.
  (so you won't have to type it in every time you check for new mail)
  
  
• Click on the Sending Mail category.

• In the Domain to add to unqualified addresses box, type realtime.net
  
  This will make Eudora add the corresponding domain to email addresses
  with no domain specified. For example, if you type johndoe as the email
  address in a new message, Eudora will add the domain you specify in this
  box to the end (such as johndoe@realtime.net). This is simply a convenience
  and is NOT a hard-set requirement.
  
  
• Click the OK button.

Now we need to specify port 587 as the outgoing mail port.

To do so, please follow these steps in Windows XP

1. Close Eudora
2. Open "my computer" or "Windows Explorer" (NOT INTERNET EXPLORER)
3. Browse to c:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Qualcomm\eudora
4. Locate "eudora.ini"
5. Open it with notepad
6. Under the line that reads "SMTPServer=mail.realtime.net" add a line that reads "SMTPPort=587" (without the quotes)
7. save and close the file

Eudora is now configured to check your email! The other settings in the Options window are really more personal preference type settings, feel free to browse around and play with it a little...The settings we went over here are the ones that are important in order for you to send and receive email.
