E-mail Settings for Eudora 5.2

Before beginning, you may need to enable a plug-in for Eudora, called "esoteric". This plug-in will be located within a folder inside the Eudora folder on your computer. It should be dragged into the main "Eudora" folder before opening the application

1. From Eudora's Tools menu, select Options. Click Getting Started. Type your full name in the Real Name box. Type your email address in the Return Address box. Type mindstorm.learningtech.org in the Mail Server (Incoming) box. Type your username in the Login Name box (in most cases this is the first part of your email address, before the @ sign). Type mindstorm.learningtech.org in the SMTP Server (Outgoing) box. Click to check the box marked Allow Authentication. Do not click OK yet.

2. Click on Checking Mail. The Mail Server box should already be set to mindstorm.learningtech.org, and the Login Name box should be filled in correctly. If not, make it so. Set Check for mail every x minutes to your liking. Under Secure Sockets when Receiving select Required, Alternate Port. Do not click OK yet.

3. Click Sending Mail. Make sure Allow authentication is checked. Under Secure Sockets when Sending select Required, STARTTLS. Now you can click OK.

4.Click on "Ports & Protocols" from the left side menu.

Enter 587 next to the box labeled SMTP port:

5. Eudora does not accept our Root Certificate Authority by default, so you must tell Eudora to trust the security certificate. First, click the "Check Mail" button. The process will fail, reporting that you have no new mail. Click OK, then go to the Tools menu and select Options again. Click on Checking Mail, then click the button marked "Last SSL Info". Click on the "Certificate Information Manager" button. Click "Add to Trusted". Click "Done". Click OK and OK again.
