Note: This guide is for POP mail configuration. To see how IMAP settings differ please view the related links at the bottom of the page.

1. Open Eudora, and from the Tools menu select Options.

2. Now, you have to enter the following information while in the Getting Started section:

• Real name – type in the name that your recipients will see in the “From” field of emails you send.

• Email address – type in your complete email address. Please make sure to replace “yourdomain.com” with your actual domain name.

• Mail Server (Incoming) - type in mail.yourdomain.com.

• User Name - type in your complete email address.

• SMTP Server (Outgoing) - type in smtp.yourdomain.com.

• Allow Authentication – check this box.
