These images are only screenshots. Please use these images as an example of what you should see on your own computer.

 

  • 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 username.

  • 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 everytime 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.
