In the space provided, type in your complete email address, and then click Next.
Your Login Name consists of your initials and a number assigned by HSU. It does not include the @humboldt.edu part of your email address. Type your Login Name in the space provided, and then click Next.
Type pop.humboldt.edu as the name of the Incoming Server. Click to select POP as the server type, and click Next.
Type smtp.humboldt.edu as the name of the Outgoing Server. On-campus users, be sure that the Allow Authentication box remains unchecked. Click Next.
Regardless of what Eudora is telling you, you haven't quite completed the setup process required to use Eudora with your HSU email account. One additional change must be made to the default information used by Eudora in order to successfully use your account.
Click Finish from the Success screen to return to the main Eudora window.
If you have already created an account, click to select Tools from the menu bar, and then click Options. A window similar to the following will appear.
Click to select Getting Started under Category on the left-hand side of the window. Verify that the Allow authentication box is unchecked and that the remainder of the displayed information is accurate, making any necessary changes.
Next, click to select the Checking Mail category to display a window similar to the window shown below. Click the down-arrow to activate the drop-down box labeled Secure Sockets when Receiving. Click to select Required, Alternate Port.
Verify that the Mail Server is shown as pop.humboldt.edu.
Click to select the Incoming Mail category. If POP is not selected as the Server configuration, click to select it now.
If you want to leave mail on the server, click the appropriate box. Be sure to select an option to delete that mail so that your account doesn't fill up with unnecessary messages.
Next, click to select the Sending Mail category. Verify that your email address is displayed correctly. If not, type in your complete email address.
If you frequently send mail to other HSU email addresses, type humboldt.edu in the box labeled Domain to add to unqualified addresses. This change will allow you to type in only the User Name portion of an address, such as abc###, rather than having to type the full email address abc###@humboldt.edu.
MAKE CERTAIN that the Allow Authentication box is unchecked.
Click OK complete the process.
