The
first thing you should do is to quit Eudora Light and drag the Eudora
Folder to the desktop to keep it safe in case someone has already used
it to store their account information. Later you will learn how to find
if it contains someone else's settings. Now, open Eudora Light again.
Notice that a blank Settings window has opened and a new Eudora Folder
has been created in the System Folder
The left side of the window contains different groups of options to
be set up: Personal Information, Hosts, etc.
Click
on the Getting Started icon in the left part of the window.
Then enter your Real name in the Real name field. Enter
your complete Saturn or popmail e-mail address in the POP account
field. Leave the Return address field blank and make
sure that TCP/IP radio button is checked.
Next,
click on the Personal Information icon on the left. Again,
enter your e-mail address in the POP account field (if
it's not there already) and your real name in the Real name
field. Leave the other two fields blank.
xClick
on Hosts icon on the left. Once again, enter your e-mail
address in the POP account field (if it's not there already).
Enter saturn.med.nyu.edu in the SMTP field and ldap.med.nyu.edu
in the Ph and Finger fields.
Leave other options at their default values.
x
Click
on Checking Mail icon on the left. Once again, enter your
e-mail address in the POP account field.
If you want Eudora to check for your mail automatically, check
the box and enter the number of minutes in the box. In the example
on the right Eudora will check for new mail every 10 minutes.
However, if you only check your mail manually this option should
not be check.
Make sure that the Save password box
is not checked! If this box is checked Eudora WILL
NOT ask for your password next time it checks the e-mail and anyone
can download your mail.
PLEASE CHECK THE LEAVE MESSAGES ON THE SERVER
BOX and set the value to no more than 14 days. This is to prserve
the disk space. Also, as the size of your mailbox grows Eudora
will take longer and longer to read your inbox and eventually
you will start having problems checking your email.
Leave other options as shown in the example on the right.
Click
on the Sending Mail icon on the left and enter saturn.med.nyu.edu
in the SMTP server field, leave the other two fields blank.
Click
on the Attachments icon on the left.
Do you remember the Attachments Folder you found in the
Eudora Folder.
Click on the long, blank button and a Finder dialog window
will open.
Navigate
to you Attachments Folder, highlight it cnd click on the Use
Folder button.
All files sent to you as attachments will be saved in this folder.
The
last thing you want to do is to set your Getting Attention
settings. This will tell Eudora how to notify you if there is
a new mail. This is actually only useful if you have set Eudora
to check for messages automatically.
Click the OK button to save the settings and exit the window.
You have finished setting up your Eudora!
You can type Command-M now or choose Check Mail from the File
menu.
If
you are the only Eudora user on this computer you may leave the
Eudora Folder in your System Folder. If others share Eudora
with you you should move the Eudora folder to another, safe location.
