VPS v2 Technical Support: Configuring Eudora

Qualcomm Eudora

NOTE: If you are having trouble checking Email using Eudora, check to make sure that your settings for checking Email are configured to Never start TLS, or that the SMTP and POP/IMAP server name matches the name on the SSL certificate you are using exactly. Eudora has zero tolerance for domain mismatches in it's SSL certificate checking.

These directions apply to Eudora 5.2.

From the Tools pull-down menu, select Options.
In the Getting Started section, provide the following information:
- Real name - This should be your own full name.
- Return Address - This should be your complete e-mail address, for example bob@yourcompany.com.
- Mail Server (Incoming) - This is your domain name, for example yourcompany.com
- Login Name - This should be your e-mail user name, for example bob for an e-mail address of bob@yourcompany.com.
- SMTP Server (Outgoing) - This is your domain name again.
- Allow Authentication - Select this checkbox. This will make Eudora authenticate before sending mail, which is necessary for the SMTP-Auth anti relay system on your Virtual Private Server
For POP and IMAP configuration, perform the following steps:
- Click Checking Mail
- Change the Secure Sockets when Receiving section from the default: If Available, STARTTLS to Never.
- Click OK.
For an overview of the Properties for a User:
- Right-Click over the User in the Persona tab
- Click Properties
- Check the Authentication allowed and UNcheck the Use relay personality
- Click OK.
Restart Eudora.
