Eudora 5.1 e-mail account setup


This Windows program lets you read your engineering account email. If you are using Pine to read your email
on the "student" server or on the sunblades in A311, then try this as an alternative email solution.

Eudora is setup to operate from your virtual drive (Z:\), which means that your settings are saved on
the MS server instead of the local C:\ drive. A "eudora" folder gets created if you don't already have one
upon login. You will only have to go through this setup only once, unless "Z:\eudora" gets deleted.
The steps below pertain to the user's first time opening eudora (located on your desktop).

Note: If you make a mistake just click back button or delete "Z:\eudora", logout, and login again.
