Eudora 6.0.2 for Mac OS X
Contents:
Enable Advanced Features
The recommended University of Minnesota settings for Eudora require features not enabled with a default installation of Eudora. Follow these instructions to enable them.
1) Quit Eudora if it is running.
2) Locate the Eudora Application Folder (usually found in "Applications".
3) Highlight the Eudora application icon, click the File menu and choose Get Info.
4) In the resulting Eudora Info window, click the arrow to the left of the category "Plug-ins". Make sure "Esoteric Settings 6.0" in the drop-down list is checked.
5) Close the Eudora Info window.
Eudora is a highly customizable e-mail client with
unique features — including far more options than the average user will
ever need. Many of those settings are optional, and are dependent on
what you prefer to use. This guide will cover the recommended settings
for the University of Minnesota e-mail system:
1) Open Eudora. If this is the first time Eudora has been opened on your Mac, you'll probably see a screen like this:
If not, skip to Step 6a).
Keychain is a Mac OS X Utility that stores passwords
for multiple applications, and Eudora supports this feature. Choose the
setting you prefer here.
2) Eudora explains the three modes you can choose from; choose "Tell Me More" if you'd like the different choices described in more detail. After this, unless you purchased a Eudora license from the publisher, just click OK.
3) Once again, if you have not purchased a Eudora license, just click OK.
4) This guide assumes you are setting up Eudora
from scratch.
5) The assumption here is that you'll want to set
Eudora as
your default e-mail client. Unless you have some reason not to, click
Yes.
6a) If you have completed steps 1-5, Eudora will have
opened the Settings window; skip to step 6b). If you skipped here
from Step 1, you will need to open it manually by going to the Eudora
menu and selecting Preferences
or to the Special menu and
selecting Settings:
6b) This is where you'll begin inputting your e-mail
settings:
Username: <your_internet_id>
Mail Server: <your_internet_id>.email.umn.edu
Sending Mail
Real Name: Your full name
SMTP Server: smtp.umn.edu
Return Address: Only needs to be changed if it differs from your username.
The checkbox "Make Eudora the default Mailer" can be checked if it isn't already; this would have been set in Step 5 after clicking "Yes."
7) Move down to Checking Mail in the left-hand column
of this window. Username and Mail Server should already be set
from step 6b). Change "Mail Protocol" from POP to IMAP. This is
the preferred protocol for the University of Minnesota.
8) Note the change in the right column when you changed to IMAP. IMAP
Authentication is handled in a different pane in the left column, and
will be set in Steps 10 and 11. If you choose to check for mail
automatically at a set interval, be aware it is considered
inappropriate at the
University of Minnesota to check more frequently than once every 15
minutes.
Account/Server Information
Username: <your_internet_id>
Mail Server:
<your_internet_id>.email.umn.edu
Mail Protocol: IMAP
Location prefix: ~/mail/
Connection
Check for mail every: 15 minutes
Send on check: (set to your
preferences)
9) In the Sending Mail pane of the left column, set
your default domain as "umn.edu". Eudora will automatically append this
to any U of MN internet IDs you input when sending messages. Intended
to save you the trouble of typing the full address, this should only be
used when the person you are sending to is known to possess a
University e-mail address. Eudora's Address Book, covered in a later
step, will offer more advanced addressing methods for your convenience.
SMTP Server should already be set from a previous step.
Server
Return Address: <your_internet_id>
Default Domain: umn.edu
SMTP Server: smtp.umn.edu
Allow authorization: (should be
checked)

preferences)

Message
Fix curly quotes: (set to your preferences)
Keep copies: (set to your
preferences)
Automatically Fcc to original mailbox:
(set to your preferences)
10) Scroll down toward the bottom of the left column
until you reach the SSL panel. Choose "Required (TLS)" from the SSL for
SMTP category. NOTE: this is only
supported in Mac OS X version 10.2 and up.
11) Under SSL for IMAP, choose "Required (TLS)". NOTE: this is only supported in Mac OS X version 10.2 and up.
12) In the left column, scroll down to Ports &
Protocols. Change the following relevant port numbers as follows:
SMTP Port: 587
IMAP Port: 993
LDAP Port: 389 (should be the default setting here already)
1) While still in the Settings window, scroll down to
the "LDAP" pane. Fill in the Directory Services Host field with the
following:
ldap://ldap.umn.edu/o=University
of Minnesota,c=US
Click OK to
close the Settings window.
2) To look up addresses using LDAP, select Directory Services from the Window menu.
3) Input the address you're looking up in the Enter query field.
1) To open the Address Book, first go to "Window" and then select "Address Book"
2) To Add a new Address Book entry, click on the icon at the bottom left of the window.
3) Fill in a short, one-word phrase that will
indicate your address
book entry in the "Nickname" field. Enter the addressee's full name in
the "Full Name:" field, and then their First and Last name in the
appropriate fields below that. The actual email address goes in the
field labeled: "This nickname will expand to the following
address(es)". You can add other information to this person's entry by
clicking on the tabs labeled Home, Work, Other, Notes and Photo.
4) Making an Email List is almost exactly the same as making an individual nickname entry, except that you should check the box next to "Recipient List" in the upper right-hand corner of the Address Book window.
5) To send a new message with Eudora, click the New
Message icon on
the floating toolbar or choose "New Message" from the Message menu.
6) Input the nickname of your intended recipient from the address book.
Click the "Send" button when you have finished composing your e-mail
message.
